Volkesfeld

Geographically, Volkesfeld is located between the towns of Mayen and Andernach on the edge of the Eifel Mountains. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills, green meadows and dense forests. Particularly impressive are the numerous volcanic lakes such as the Laacher See or the Weinfelder Maar.

One of the most famous sights in Volkesfeld is the Maria Laach Monastery with its magnificent 11th century basilica. Bürresheim Castle, a well-preserved castle complex dating back to the 12th century, is also worth a visit.

Culturally, Volkesfeld offers some highlights such as the annual medieval festival at Bürresheim Castle or various concerts in the Maria Laach Basilica.

For gourmets, there are culinary specialities such as the famous "Mayener Döppekooche", a hearty potato casserole or also regional wines from the vineyards around Andernach.

The best outdoor activities can be enjoyed here, especially in summer: Hiking through the picturesque landscapes of the Eifelsteig or cycling on one of the many cycle routes through the region are just two examples. But water sports such as swimming, diving or canoeing are also possible in summer at Lake Laach.

If it ever rains, Volkesfeld also offers some indoor activities such as the volcano museum in Mendig or the climbing park in Mayen.

Where is it nicest in Volkesfeld? That's hard to say, because every place has its own charm. However, a stroll through the historic old town of Mayen or a picnic by one of the idyllic lakes is definitely recommended.
