Guided Tour of Olbrück Castle

As in previous years, the medieval Olbrück Castle—the landmark of the Brohl Valley—can once again be explored with an enthusiastic tour guide on the first Sunday of every month.
The tour is both exciting and informative for children and adults alike. Here, you can experience history up close and “get a feel for it.”

Our tip:

Why not leave the car behind and take the Vulkan-Express? On October 4, the Brohltalbahn is celebrating its 125th anniversary. A special schedule is in effect for the occasion. The train departs at 9:30 a.m. from the Brohltalbahn station in Brohl-Lützing. On a leisurely ride, you’ll arrive at the terminal station in Engeln at 11:18 a.m., where you’ll have time for a lunch break. Around noon, you can set out on your own along the well-marked Osteifelweg trail via Brenk to Olbrück Castle. The route is approximately 5.5 km.

If you’d like to start a little later, you can also take the Vulkan-Express at 11:30 a.m. from Brohl-Lützing. In that case, we recommend getting off at Brenk (arrival at 12:46 p.m.) and hiking from there along the Osteifelweg to Olbrück Castle. This route is about 3.5 kilometers long.

After the castle tour, you’ll head back along the Osteifelweg: The route continues downhill for about 45 minutes (4 km) to the Oberzissen train station, where you’ll catch the Vulkan-Express at 5:30 p.m. Arrival in Brohl-Lützing at 6:18 p.m.

April–October, every first Sunday of the month.

Duration of the castle tour: approx. 1.5 hours
