Wasserburg Niederzier

Today, little is known about Niederzier moated castle. Over the course of time, ownership changed hands again and again to different families. In 1922, the municipality of Niederzier acquired ownership of the moated castle. After its destruction in the Second World War, the municipality took care of its reconstruction and expanded its administrative headquarters. The protected building is still home to the Niederzier administration today. Today, the moated castle is used for various purposes, such as concerts and exhibitions. The Niederzier registry office is also located in the former meeting room of the castle building.

    Kreuzauer Busch [73]

    Kreuzau
    Distance:9.6 km Duration:2:39 h Difficulty:Medium

    "...this hike takes hikers around the sleepy Eifel village of Obermaubach and offers beautiful views of the village with the reservoir from the heights "The "Kreuzauer Busch" hike starts and ends in Obermaubach and leads around the approx. 400 m high Bovenberg, from where there are beautiful views of the village and the reservoir. Obermaubach has almost 1000 years of history. The county of "Molbach" was first mentioned in 1152. It was named after a mill. The old German term "Mole" was derived from the Latin "molo" for mill. A moated castle, the "Castrum Molbach", probably stood near today's mill from the 12th to 17th century. The name eventually changed from Molbach to Maubach. We follow the signposts 73.
