Burgruine Freudenkoppe

Neroth

The castle was built in 1340 by King John of Bohemia, Count of Luxembourg to fortify its borders. But already in 1346 the castle fell into the hands of the Elector of Trier. The castle is abandoned in the second half of the 15th century.

Between 1984 and 1985 is the castle (protection of monuments) renovated.

War memorial Stadtkyll

The Stadtkyll war memorial was erected in 1934. The memorial was designed by Professor Emil Fahrenkamp, an architect and university lecturer who was head of the art academy in Düsseldorf from 1937 to 1946. It commemorates the 30 soldiers from Stadtkyll who lost their lives in the First World War. Their names are engraved on the sarcophagus in the memorial crypt.

Growing waterfall Dreimühlen

The Dreimühlen waterfall is probably the most interesting waterfall in the Eifel. It was formed from limestone deposits of three spring tributaries of the Ahbach. Due to the constant deposition, the sinter bank is constantly "growing", which is where the name "growing waterfall" comes from.
