"Scheiterhaufen" Ulmen

"Scheiterhaufen" Ulmen

Ulmen

On the hike through the May and Brandenbush at about kilometre 3, you will find experience point no. 4 - the pyre.

Only a short kilometre after the first crime scene, you will reach the funeral pyre in the Brandenbusch, which has been reconstructed with great effort. In the 16th century, not only witches but also suspected thieves and murderers were burned here. To find the witch's fire, you will have to do a bit of "bushwhacking".

On your hike "Witches, Hangmen & Scoundrels", experience point 4 is the "funeral pyre".

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.
