Maps and trails
Urmitz is known for its idyllic location directly on the Rhine, where you can take relaxing walks along the river. The town also has many historic buildings to offer such as Bürresheim Castle or Eltz Castle, both of which date back to the Middle Ages.

For culture enthusiasts, Urmitz offers numerous highlights such as the annual town festival in summer or the Christmas market in winter. Here you can sample local specialities and admire traditional handicrafts.

Culinary delights the region has to offer include delicious wine from the nearby vineyards and regional dishes such as Saumagen (stuffed pork stomach) and Dibbelabbes (a potato dish).

Outdoors, there are many activities to enjoy - from hiking through the picturesque landscapes to cycling on the many cycle routes around Urmitz. In spring, endless flowers bloom here, bringing a burst of colour to the land; while in autumn, everything turns warm gold - perfect for a hike through the deciduous woodland.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the local museum or a cosy cup of tea in one of the many cafés. The town also has a modern indoor swimming pool, which is suitable for families and sports enthusiasts alike.

Where is the most beautiful in Urmitz? That depends on your interests! If you like hiking or cycling, we recommend a trip to the nearby Lahn Valley or to Eltz Castle. For those interested in culture, a visit to Bürresheim Castle and the historic old town of Mayen is worthwhile.

Urmitz is definitely worth a trip - with its picturesque landscape, rich history and cultural highlights, it is sure to be an unforgettable experience. We hope that our travel guide has helped to arouse your curiosity about this charming little town.

    Interessante Tour mit den beiden Brückenquerungen, dem Rest des ehem. AKW Mülheim-Kärlich und viel Rheinaussicht. Tipps: Möglichst nicht sonntags machen - da schwirren einem ständig die e-Biker um die Ohren. Für die 2. Hälfte des rechtsrheinischen Teils Richtung Eisenbahnbrücke sollte man "landeinwärts" ins Engerser Feld mit seinen sehr schönen Kiesgrubenseen ausweichen - Rheinblicke hat man auf dem Rückweg nach Neuwied auf der linken Rheinseite noch genug.

    Auf meiner zweitägigen Tour von Bad Kreuznach nach Bonn befuhr ich unter anderem den Rhein-Radweg. Eine sehr interessante Strecke, keine Frage. Jedoch hätte ich mir, dafür dass es ein bekannter Fernradweg ist, eine bessere Beschilderung und Wegbeschaffenheit erhofft. Da mich mein Fahrrad-Navi auf der am Computer geplanten Strecke hat hängen lassen, wäre dies dringend notwendig gewesen. Mit bessere Beschilderung ist gemeint, dass auf den vorhandenen Wegweisern auch nächstgrößere Städte oder angrenzende Radwege aufgezeigt werden können, die der besseren Orientierung dienen. Mit besserer Wegbeschaffenheit ist gemeint, dass sich der Rheinradweg teilweise in einem schlechten Zustand befindet (Schlechter Belag, Schlaglöcher, Kopfsteinpflaster). So führt er auch auf kurzen Abschnitten durch Cafe- und Restaurant-Zonen, in denen Radfahrer absteigen müssen.
