Eifelmuseum Blankenheim mit Römerstraßen-Infozentrum

Blankenheim

Located in the heart of Blankenheim’s historic town center, not far from the source of the Ahr River, the Eifel Museum immerses you in the natural and cultural history of the Northern Eifel. It also houses the tourist information office, making it the perfect starting point for exploring the area.

The museum vividly illustrates the geological history and natural features of the northwestern Eifel. The exhibition is complemented by rotating displays and works by regional artists. Directly adjacent is the historic Gildehaus. Here you can experience Blankenheim’s history from its beginnings to the present day, including the exhibition “Castle and Dominion.” Works by the Eifel painter Fritz von Wille are also on display here.

At the Information Center for the Roman Agrippa Road, life in Roman times comes to life—with fascinating insights into the nearby Roman villa. This Roman site is located just about 800 meters away, making it an ideal destination for a leisurely walk.

Admission to the Eifel Museum and the Gildehaus is free on all days it is open.

The business is a partner of the sustainable travel destination Nordeifel.

Burg Langendorf

Langendorf Castle was first mentioned in 1240. The oldest part of the main building dates back to the 15th century and was expanded around 1498 to include the courtrooms. The castle has been in family ownership since 1880 and was passed on to the then-20-year-old heir Manfred Vetter in 1957 - with the aim of restoring and revitalizing the heavily damaged castle. “Concert in the Barn” - from 1994 to 2010, more than 120 concerts featuring young musicians took place in the barn of the castle. The international historical fire helmet collection with approximately 300 helmets was incorporated into the foundation in 2010. The open-air stage, used only ten times, was donated to the Euskirchen district at the end of 2010 for events by schools, clubs, and others. The castle (cellar ground floor and outside) is available for group tours by arrangement.

Urfttalsperre

The Urft Dam is the oldest valley dam in the Eifel and is located in the middle of the Eifel National Park. At the time, the dam was planned as the largest structure in Europe. Construction of the 266 m long wall made of quarry stones began in 1899 - in May 1905 the dam was filled with water for the first time. In addition to flood protection and energy generation, the aim of the hydraulic engineering measure was to supply the region with drinking water. With a length of 12 km, a width of up to 1 km and a maximum depth of 52 m, Lake Urft has a capacity of 45.5 million cubic metres. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
