The Beilsturm is an outwork of the old town fortifications of Neuerburg from the 16th century. From the top, newly designed observation platform, there is a beautiful view over the medieval Neuerburg.
On the ridge called "Castellberg" above Wallendorf, near where the Our flows into the Sauer, the Celtic Treveri built a fortified settlement similar to a town in the 2nd century BC. Today, almost nothing of it is visible above ground.

In countless twists and turns, the Our winds through the slate slopes of Islek. From the observation point at Waldhof Falkenstein, there is a fantastic view of the notable bend of the Our Valley with the Falkenstein Castle.
This is how luxurious Roman lords of the manor lived in the beautiful southern Eifel. And they even minted coins. Not counterfeit money, is it? Take a trip there!
