Eifel-Blick "Resort Eifeler Tor"

The main building of Burgau Castle has an eventful past. Having been originally built at the start of the 14th century by the Counts von Heinsberg and assigned to the fiefdom of Wilhelm von Burgau, the picturesque moated castle has since had quite a makeover.

As the name suggests, this Eifel view is located above the Rur in the Effelsley area at an altitude of 275 meters above sea level.

The historic old town of Monschau directly on the Rur.

Situated in the charming valley of the Wehe and surrounded by wooded heights, the district of Schevenhütte offers every opportunity for extensive hikes and peaceful walks through the landscape characterised by forests and valley meadows.

The unique galmei violet in and around Stolberg is particularly evident from May to August. Galmeiflora or galmei vegetation is the botanical name of two plant communities of metallophytes on soil containing heavy metals.
