Kronenburg

The castle ruin and fortified settlement of Kronenburg Kronenburg Castle was one of the characteristic medieval hill-castles of the Eifel built on the spur of a ridge in the Upper Kyll Valley. The self-contained impression of the castle ruin, outer bailey and fortified settlement and their adaptation to the topography make the special charm of this site. Kronenburg was first mentioned in a charter of the Abbey Stablo Malmedy in 1277. Today the locality is a touristic attraction in the Upper Kyll Valley.

Bird Watching Station am Urftsee

Black cormorants, great crested grebes, grey herons, ducks and, with a bit of luck, red and black kites as well as the black stork - the Urft Dam in the Eifel National Park is an El Dorado for birds. Here they can breed in peace and raise their young. The bird watching station at the Urft reservoir is an excellent place to observe the birdlife. Two high-quality telescopes are available for this purpose.
