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.
