Brandscheid

Brandscheid is known for its idyllic location as well as for its numerous hiking opportunities. Here you will find some of the most beautiful hiking trails in Germany with varied flora and fauna. The Druidensteig (Druid's Trail) and the Westerwald-Steig (Westerwald Trail) are particularly recommended.

For those interested in culture, there is also much to discover here: The historic half-timbered houses in the town centre bear witness to a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. A highlight is the 17th century Montabaur Castle - today the seat of a renowned business school.

Brandscheid also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try the traditional "Westerwälder Spießbraten" (spit-roast) or enjoy fresh bread from the local bakery.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, you can learn about regional arts and crafts traditions at one of the nearby museums such as the Höhr-Grenzhausen Ceramics Museum or take a trip to Koblenz - only half an hour away!

In summer, the outdoor pool on the outskirts of the village is a great place to swim and sunbathe, while in winter you can go skiing on the nearby slopes.

Brandscheid is worth a visit at any time of year, but especially in autumn when the forests turn into a sea of colour. It is particularly beautiful here on the hills and mountains surrounding the village.

This Travel Guide has hopefully given you a good overview of what makes Brandscheid so special. We strongly recommend that you visit this charming destination for yourself - you won't regret it!
