Archäologietour Nordeifel 2026: Unerwartetes unterm Bolzplatz

Archaeology and monument preservation in the North Eifel. Experts will provide information on this day at six selected archaeological and architectural monuments in the North Eifel about the unique features of the locations.

The meadows at Blankenheim Castle are today a welcome play and kickabout area for the youth hostel. What is no longer visible at first glance is made visible by modern technology: In the 18th century, a baroque garden with a fountain, fed by the water of the late medieval animal garden tunnel system, extended here over several terraces. However, even structural remains can still be recognized in the area today with a trained eye.

Program: Archaeologists explain the geophysical survey results. Tours of the water supply system and relics of the garden layout.
For children: How does a pressurized pipeline work? Explanations using a model. Animal garden rally – questions about the water supply system of Blankenheim Castle.
Catering: The JSG Ahr offers bratwurst in a bun as well as cold drinks, coffee, and waffles.
