Schloss Eicks

Mechernich

Since the 14th year, Eicks Castle has been a castle-like Fronhof. The castle, built in 1690, is standard type of the Rhenish aristocratic seat: 2-part moated castle with a towered, 3-winged outer bailey and separate manor house. The outer bailey of the 17th year is essentially original and was originally plastered. The gate passage with the alliance coat of arms Syberg/ Palandt is simply designed. The drawbridge is replaced by a masonry bridge arch.

The large gate of the outer bailey is open when the owners are there. The facility can be viewed well from the street. If you drive around the castle, you have a beautiful view of the baroque garden.

LVR-Industriemuseum / Tuchfabrik Müller

It is a journey back in time to the world of the cloth industry. In 1961, factory owner Kurt Müller closed the doors of his cloth factory in the Eifel, hoping to reopen it soon. This did not come true, but today visitors can take a unique tour of a factory where robust woollen fabrics and loden cloth were produced for many years. They are immersed in the world of dyeing and weaving and experience how some of the machines are brought back to life during a guided tour and how people used to work here.

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)
