Old Kyll Valley Hydroelectric Power Plant
Highlight • Monument
Erected in 1902, acquired by the city of Trier in 1909, rebuilt in 1926. The main building is located below the path: two-storey plastered building with a slated hipped roof, which contains the machine and workshop hall on the ground floor, an apartment for an employee on the upper floor, single-storey extensions on both sides, the turbine chamber on the right, the transformer room on the left, the roof of which has two small towers pierced with a tent roof, which lean against the eaves of the main house, they conceal the connections of the overhead lines that conduct the electricity to the north and south. The small courtyard behind the main building is closed off by a two-storey stable building. In front of the house there is an enclosed garden area with two plane trees that were probably planted symmetrically at the time of construction.

View of Ramstein Castle
Highlight • Viewpoint
Built at the beginning of the 14th century by the Archbishop of Trier, Diether von Nassau, as the successor to a fortified estate, it was from then on an electoral Trier feudal castle, which was awarded to electoral subjects and cathedral deans. During the Palatinate War of Succession, the complex was occupied by French soldiers and blown up in 1689. There was no reconstruction. The successor building to the former courtyard house of the castle is now used as a hotel restaurant.

As we were in Trier very early, we first dropped off our luggage at the hotel and then took a city tour with the Pino in light …
