Glaadt Castle (Jünkerath Palace)

Highlight • Castle

The ruins of the castle Glaadt is a ruin of the former castle complex in Jünkerath and was built in the 13th century.
In the Middle Ages Glaadt had an even greater importance than Jünkerath, the nearby hut settlement.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the Glaadt castle ruin was rebuilt as a hunting lodge after being destroyed by a lightning strike.

Birgel Watermill

Highlight • Monument

The old water mill is not only a real eye-catcher, but also offers an excellent opportunity for a refreshment break or is suitable for a day stop with an overnight stay. The Kyllradweg from Losheim to Birgel is great to ride. From Losheim to Jünkerath it's all along the route, then the cycle path becomes a bit more varied on different surfaces.

Rest Area at Heuloch

Highlight • Rest Area

At a fork in the road near Birgel and Lissendorf is this beautiful break area with table and bench, bike stand and information board. In good weather, a wonderful break place with all-round views.

Industrial Locomotive 87 at Eisenmuseum Jünkerath

Highlight • Monument

The Jünkerath iron museum was established in 1991 by the then Daun district in the building of the former Jünkerath vocational school. The museum was privatized on April 1, 2012 and has been managed by Christine and Christian Engels since then. It is right next to the site of a foundry founded over 300 years ago. Jünkerath was already known in Roman times as the Icorigium, a fort on the Roman road Trier-Cologne. In the iron museum, visitors can inspect a large number of exhibits that are of great importance both in terms of art history and archaeology.

July 30, 2023,Auf dem Kylltalradweg von Stadtkyll nach Hillesheim und zurück

Half-day tour with a stop in Birgel and in Hillesheim. Good bike path, a little bit on unpaved path through the forest. Otherwise everything with solid surface.
