December 11, 2025, Nims River and Rittersdorf Castle

🏰 Rittersdorf Castle Rittersdorf Castle is one of the most valuable and best-preserved medieval sites in the region: a moated castle located in the municipality of Rittersdorf, just about three kilometers north of Bitburg, directly on the Nims River. The almost square structure is surrounded by a moat. Surrounded by the tranquil Nims river landscape, Rittersdorf Castle is a popular destination for history buffs, gourmets, and cyclists in the Eifel region.

🌊 The Nims River The Nims is an idyllic river that flows through the Bitburg-Prüm district in the Eifel region: The Nims is an approximately 61 km long left tributary of the Prüm. It rises near Weinsheim and flows south, past towns such as Schönecken and Bitburg, before joining the Prüm below Irrel.

Beautiful romantic ensemble of the Nims river with its weirs and fortifications and the mighty castle complex in the style of a moated castle.

A truly beautiful crossing of the Nims River. The foundation is also stone, while the actual bridge structure is made of wood. A small fitness station is located near the footbridge as part of the Ritterdorf fitness trail.
