To make a day of it
Burg Neublankenheim stands in Üxheim (Landkreis Vulkaneifel), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Burg Neublankenheim stands as a ruin on a hilltop in the Eifel region, right next to the border with North Rhine-Westphalia. Its enclosing walls survive over several storeys, and the keep, roughly 24 metres high, still rises at the south-western corner with an unusual semicircular plan. Restoration work carried out in the early 2000s was limited to stabilising the existing masonry against further decay, with no rebuilding involved. The site today is an open ruin without visitor facilities.
What to know
- The ruin is freely accessible at any time, with no opening hours or admission fee.
- A hiking car park on the L 70 road below the site allows visitors to walk up to the ruin on a footpath.
- The site lies along several marked hiking and cycling routes in the area, including the Geo-Pfad Hillesheim.
- There are no visitor facilities, catering or supervision on site, so a visit is entirely self-guided.
- The terrain is sloped and uneven, so sturdy footwear is advisable for the walk up.
