Erft Flood Canal

Highlight • River

The Erftflutkanal was built around 1860 in the course of the so-called "Melioration der Erft". This "meloriation" is a soil improvement - here by lowering the groundwater level, which had been raised artificially by the many mills. This increase, however, led to the drowning of the Erftauen.
The Erft flood channel provided for a regulation of the groundwater level.

Türnich Castle

Highlight • Castle

Türnich Castle is currently being extensively renovated, but the detour from the Erftradweg is still worthwhile. Most of the time there are many guests sitting in the enchanted café or on the terrace, but it is worth it because of the beautiful herb garden, where almost all local herbs can be admired.

Tip: When the gardener is there, he tells one or two anecdotes about this garden. Highly recommended.
