Schloss Eicks

Mechernich

Since the 14th year, Eicks Castle has been a castle-like Fronhof. The castle, built in 1690, is standard type of the Rhenish aristocratic seat: 2-part moated castle with a towered, 3-winged outer bailey and separate manor house. The outer bailey of the 17th year is essentially original and was originally plastered. The gate passage with the alliance coat of arms Syberg/ Palandt is simply designed. The drawbridge is replaced by a masonry bridge arch.

The large gate of the outer bailey is open when the owners are there. The facility can be viewed well from the street. If you drive around the castle, you have a beautiful view of the baroque garden.

Dauerausstellung „Bestimmung Herrenmensch“ - NS-Dokumentation Vogelsang

The former NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang in today's Eifel National Park is one of the largest buildings of National Socialism and was a place of human contempt at that time. Today Vogelsang “Internationaler Platz” is a place that stands for tolerance, diversity and peaceful coexistence. But it is also a place of remembrance culture. The permanent exhibition “Purpose: Master Man. NS-Ordensburgen between fascination and crime ”gives an insight into the life at the NS-Ordensburg at that time.

Vogelsang IP

Nationalpark Eifel

Set in a dramatic landscape of woods interspersed with water, the Eifel National Park will allow you to experience the fascinating natural diversity of a wilderness at first hand. For in this large protection area some 65 kilometres southwest of Cologne, nature has been left once more to its own eternal cycle of growth and decay.

Eifel-Blick "Panoramablick"

A magnificent view is offered here on the edge of the village of Dreiborn on the Dreiborn plateau 567 metres above sea level. The view stretches far in a south-easterly direction to the hilltops of the Volcanic Eifel.
