Burg Blankenheim

Blankenheim

The imposing castle dominates the image of Blankenheim. Finds indicate that a Roman fort previously stood here. Gerhard I built the castle in 1115 above the source of the Ahr. Today the castle complex serves as a youth hostel and can be visited on request. Blankenheim Castle is located directly on the hiking trails Burgen-Route and Eifelsteig stage 6.

No sooner have people left the horrors of the two world wars behind them than the next war is already looming - the Cold War. These are the years of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall and nuclear armament. The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons. At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.

LVR-Freilichtmuseum Kommern

History comes alive at the LVR open-air museum in Kommern: Chickens run around between the houses and peck at the ground, cattle graze peacefully in the pasture and fresh bread smells waft from the bakery. Visitors can wander through five different assemblies and their buildings. The journey through time in the Rhineland begins at the end of the 15th century and ends with the 20th century. Exhibitions and various festivals and markets, such as the Anno Dazumal fair, round off the museum experience.
