Almost every place in the Volcanic Eifel has its “Drees”. The term comes from the Celtic and means "bubbling spring". Visit the “Dreese” in the GesundLand Vulkaneifel and refresh yourself there.

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.

Black cormorants, great crested grebes, grey herons, ducks and, with a bit of luck, red and black kites as well as the black stork - the Urft Dam in the Eifel National Park is an El Dorado for birds. Here they can breed in peace and raise their young. The bird watching station at the Urft reservoir is an excellent place to observe the birdlife. Two high-quality telescopes are available for this purpose.

The former outpost of Vianden Castle is beautifully situated on a rocky promontory right on the border with Luxembourg.
