Nickenicher Burgtor

Nickenich

The castle gate was built in 1677 and is today the only remnant of a former knight's seat.

The builder is the Provost of Mainz, Baron Heinrich Ferdinand von der Leyen zu Nickenich. The castle was on the upper half of Burgstrasse, which had been mentioned since 1528. The listed castle gate was once the entrance to the farm buildings of the castle district.

Kaiserhalle Burgbrohl

The special reason for building the Kaiserhalle in this form as a self-supporting domed hall was the need for the builder Wilhelm Bell to provide evidence that local building materials such as lime, lava sand and trass can also be used for extreme loads. At a time before the turn of the century, when cement had started its triumphal march and the mining of the tram in the Brohl valley continued to decline, such proof seemed necessary.

Synagoge Saffig

The Saffig synagogue was built in 1858. It is the only rebuilt synagogue in Rhineland-Palatinate that is once again actively hosting Jewish services.

St. Hubertus

Every 10 years the village gets ready to show over 10,000 visitors the unique and well-known Riedener Passion Play in the parish church.

Kaiserbahnhof

In 1877 the so-called Kaiserbahnhof was built in Mendig. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful historical buildings in the Mendig region. The building was named because Kaiser Wilhelm II is said to have used it as a starting point for visits to Eifel maneuvers.

Parkplatz Erntekreuz

Start of the 280 km long "German Volcano Road", which leads to the 39 highlights in the world of the Eifel volcanoes. Hard to imagine what happened here almost 13,000 years ago. In the gently rolling landscape, the roof of a volcanic focus that had formed underground suddenly bursts open. A massive explosion shakes the area, caused by the underground contact of hot gases and groundwater. The volcano throws out huge amounts of ash and pumice.
