Herrenstraße

Port House

Built in 1575 in the Renaissance style. Allegorical figures of Justitia and Veritas. Relief of a man with a scythe, ears of corn, and a cornucopia. Münstermaifeld has been the seat of the district since the 13th century and was merged with the Polch district into the Maifeld community in 1970 as part of the administrative reform.

This "Bound" is a kind of an interactive digital rally. You need a smartphone on which you can download the "Actionbound" app for free. The bound "Experience the forest" is then loaded onto the smartphone, so that no internet is required on site.

If you hike the "Pyrmonter Felsensteig" dream path, you will reach the highest point of the hike on the Sammetzkopf. The summit cross is visible from afar and is illuminated in the dark. The view from the Sammetzkopf over to Münstermaifeld with its imposing collegiate church and the volcanoes of the Eastern Eifel is also wide.

High towers, picturesque oriels, protective walls and a deep castle moat amaze visitors when the well-preserved medieval castle appears out of nowhere on one of the hiking trails - e.g. the award-winning dream trail "Eltzer Burgpanorama". The interior holds some well-preserved treasures: the imposing knights' hall, the armoury and treasure chamber or the bedrooms, living rooms and writing rooms. All this can be experienced on a guided tour between April and November.
