Herrenstraße

The 4.5-kilometer Road follows the Schrumpfbach stream, which flows from Münstermaifeld-Metternich through a valley rich in forests and meadows down to hatzenport at the Moselle. Fifteen mills are on the wayside - some in a deep sleep, others are successful examples of how ancient walls can be beautifully renovated, for example to accommodate comfortable holiday apartments.

This burial mound tells us about a family that lived almost 2,000 years ago in the area that is now the Osteifel Volcano Park. The people lived in a manor nearby and farmed successfully.

The Homeland and Adventure Museum in Münstermaifeld The Homeland and Adventure Museum (Heimat- und Erlebnismuseum) in the old priory in Münstermaifeld promises a journey back in time to the world inhabited by our great and great-great grandparents.

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.
