Heimbach

The town itself lies on the Rur River and is surrounded by the impressive cliffs of the limestone cliffs. Visitors here can enjoy the breathtaking scenery while strolling through the narrow streets or relaxing on a bench on the riverbank.

Heimbach's most famous sight is undoubtedly the 12th century Hengebach Castle, which towers majestically over the town. Today, the castle houses a museum as well as an art gallery and offers a fascinating insight into the history of the region.

For cultural highlights, a visit to the Mariawald Monastery, a former Cistercian monastery from the 15th century with a beautiful Gothic church, is recommended.

Numerous events take place every year, including the popular castle festival in summer as well as various music and theatre events in the castle park.

Culinary delights are also part of a stay in Heimbach: be sure to try the famous Aachen Printen cake or visit a local brewery for fresh beer straight from the barrel!

Those who like to be active can go on hikes through the Eifel National Park or go canoeing on the water - this is especially nice in spring and summer. Cycling, climbing or swimming are also popular activities in the region.

If it rains, a visit to the Rursee Info Centre is a good idea, where you can learn all about the flora and fauna of the Eifel. Alternatively, you can spend a leisurely day in a café or enjoy a wellness treatment.

Overall, Heimbach is definitely worth a trip - whether for nature lovers, culture enthusiasts or adventurers!
