Eisenschmitt fountain

Eisenschmitt

The village fountain in Eisenschmitt commemorates the iron smelter in the village and is also dedicated to the Eifel poet Clara Viebig. The artist Johann Baptist Lenz from Oberkail, who is well-known and respected throughout the region, designed and created the fountain in 1989 with a great deal of empathy for the history of the village and that of the well-known author.
The motifs on the fountain show the development of the village and events from history. The fountain is divided into three levels. On the upper level, the main motif is the iron forge, to which the village name refers. The middle level depicts various trades that were involved in iron processing. The lower level shows motifs from the novel "Das Weiberdorf" (The Women's Village), in which the poet Clara Viebig describes village life.

The fountain stands in front of the church in Eisenschmitt.

Castles of Manderscheid

The spa town of Manderscheid is most famous for two medieval castle ruins that stand directly opposite each other on steep mountain spurs not far from the town's alleyways. The massive complexes are separated only by the little Lieser river and a meadow, which in summer becomes a perfect place for a breather while hiking the Eifelsteig trail or for a family picnic with children. On a weekend in August, however, the castles and the meadow are ideal settings for a spectacular festival with quaint crafts, jugglers, jousting tournaments and minstrel singing. In Advent, the Manderscheid Castle Christmas lends the town a special magic. The freely accessible upper castle with its five-storey keep still looks martial today. The lower castle can be explored on guided tours - even at night - or on your own; it only remains closed in bad weather.
