Panoramic platform at Burgberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewing platform on the Burgberg is definitely worth a detour from the Liser path. The Liesertal reminds me of a small edition of the famous Moselle loop. Very nice …

Biederburg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

After the old (dated) bridge fell victim to the flood, there is now a new, very stable bridge over the Lieser. Under the bridge you can cool your feet in the shallow water.

View of the Manderscheid Castles

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful castles! The lower castle is big and you can even visit it, but the upper castle is free to enter and you have a wonderful view of the lower castle!
