The legendary Nürburgring goes past the Nürburg castle ruins in the valley and also owes its name to it. Combine a visit to the Nürburg with a detour to the historic half-timbered village of Monreal and Bürresheim Castle.

In the 12th century, the Counts of Are built a castle on the ‘mons nore’, the black mountain, and extensive ruins are still preserved today. At the foot of the castle mountain, visitors can discover the remains of the Romanesque castle chapel, which was built in around 1200. A winding footpath leads to the impressive double gate that forms the main entrance to the castle. With its countless round towers once again protected by characteristic conical roofs following a comprehensive restoration, it is master of the surrounding land once more. The core castle with a perimeter wall and an internal gate to protect it was built in the early 13th century. The impressive round castle keep also has late Romanesque ribbed vaulting. If you climb the steps to the castle keep, you get to a platform and are rewarded by wonderful views over the sweeping forests of the Eifel. (From “Reisezeit – Zeitreise”.
