One of my favorite ruins so far. For context, I came here with my mother in law and three kids (ages 5,3,1; I wore the baby). It unfortunately rained the first 15 minutes of our visit. It’s an easy walk from the parking lot to the on paved ground but once you’re on grounds, forget using a stroller and be very cautious baby wearing or if you have any physical limitations, ESPECIALLY in the rain. Very slippery in some areas. I did fine personally but my 3 year old struggled. That said, once it stopped raining it dried off quickly. We did have to buy tickets, but pricing was very fair. They have a small gift shop and even what looked like a bar if you feel in the mood for a beer. SO much to explore with English and German signage. The ruins are pretty huge and decently well preserved. I am overall so glad we made the trip here today and went to the neighboring after, which we drive to, though apparently it’s a 15-20 minute walk (all uphill). Great castles. There is a Burg festival medieval Market they do every year that is great. Beautiful ruins in the south part of the Eifel, definitely worth a and spending half a day going to the bottom main paying the very reasonably priced €3 entrance fee and then walk up to the upper via the valley across the river Lieser. "The once mighty structures, which were destroyed in several wars in the 17th century, are separated only by the little Lieser River, which cuts a spirited path through the densely wooded rocky landscape in the valley" Nice place to visit! Really worth it. €5 entrance fee is so worth it! Gorgeous with great views. Amazing experience,! I had a wonderful experience visiting Manderscheid Castle. The day was absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for exploring such a historic site. The walk up to the tower was surprisingly easy, making it enjoyable for visitors of all ages. The itself is breathtaking, offering stunning views and a fascinating glimpse into history. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to enjoy a scenic, easy hike combined with a touch of medieval charm. MIRIAM HUIZENGA ✨️ Nice ruïne in a beautiful environment, worth the especially if you combine it with the second one. Takes approximately 2-3 hours for combined We visited the on occasion of the Medeavel Festival and it must be the best time of the year to do so. First day, SAT, the weather was perfect, 19 deg and cloudy, extremely important as there is little shade on the lawn. We were not allowed to drive by car to the entrance, even to drop off the family and youn kids. The P+R is not close and the buses ran every 15 min. A bit of a queue. The 2 castles are in ruins, worth a climb, but nothing to visit, so the festival is all there is. High point was the joust, with side shows - jogglers, medieval music. Good fast food, on the brink of expensive. Not many craftshops though. Kids were entertained at some point in sword battle, knighting ceremony and some games available. No playground available. Toilets overcrowded, overworked, no baby amenities. We also went on SUN afternoon and evening when the Atmosphere was a lot more relaxed, as people left. No parade, but a last show involving all artists and crowning of the best artist. Grosser Zapfenstreich at the end, delightful and solemn.
