Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit, but it is a very beautiful and imposing fortification in the style of a moated castle.

A very beautiful complex in the style of a moated castle, with the river Nims flowing directly past it.

Rittersdorf Castle, a charming moated castle dating back to the 13th century, was first documented in 1263. Originally built as a fortified house for the Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier, it served to secure the trade routes between Trier, Bitburg, and Cologne. The imposing 26-meter-high keep, whose construction was approved by King Rudolf of Habsburg in 1290, still dominates the castle's appearance today. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded to include residential buildings with round towers. Today, the castle houses a restaurant, a small museum, and even a registry office, located in the historic Knights' Hall.

Schönecken Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle at 467 m above sea level above the municipality of the same name, Schönecken, in the Nimstal in the western Eifel (Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm) in Rhineland-Palatinate. The castle stood on the lowest ridge in the middle of a valley. The complex is protected by higher mountains on all sides. The Schönecken castle ruins are also called "Bella Costa" or "Clara Costa".

The Junfernley is easy to find. From Schönecken, turn onto the main path at the car park to Schönecker Schweiz, towards Rommersheim. After about 1 km, you reach the Jungfernley, which is on the right in the "Reinsbusch", and the Schalkenbach on the left. The Jungfernley is a legendary, mighty dolomite formation. According to legend, the stone is the remains of a maiden who was turned to stone at this point due to malice. Other rumors persist that in earlier times, midwives pulled newborn children out of a crack in the rock at the Jungfernley. Source: https://www.schoenecken.com/HTML/jungfernley.htm

Cycle path/hiking trail - a great section through Schönecker Schweiz. Gravel and not too steep, so easy to ride without an e-bike or with children! Lots of great rocks to see.
