    Wonderfully informative museum at the heart of the reconstructed hilltop castle, which is itself at the top of a delightful-looking hillside town. Can’t beat 7 euros for two people... worth it for the views from the top alone. Just come ready to climb some stairs and drive some very narrow streets coming in and out.

    Small castle. . The rectangular hill castle was the seat of the powerful counts and dukes of Jülich and had a reputation in the Middle Ages of being impregnable. It was built in 1177AD with rubble stone. There is a museum n restaurant in the castle

    Awesome place with tons of history. You can almost feel the centuries that passed. The buildings are perfectly preserved and the place is sharp clean. The whole area is amazing, with tiny paved streets that run up and down between beautiful houses and buildings. I really enjoyed my afternoon there, and the views from up.

    (Translated by Google) Ruins of Nideggen Castle, which was built in 1177. A place worth seeing while being nearby. Perfect for a walk or a bicycle trip.

    Nice views from on top of the wall but the castle itself isn't too crazy. Nice to stop at and have a drink but I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here.

    Great museum and burg. Plenty to explore and see.

  • 5/5 Edita A. 5 years ago on Google • 43 reviews
    The castle tower has an amazing view of the valley. The medieval town is cosy and offers some great places to eat. After lunch I recommend a hike down the valley, beautiful forest and countryside scenery.

    (Translated by Google) A very nice castle. On the buildings there are boards on which some things are explained. Unfortunately the location was closed. (Original) Eine sehr schöne Burg. An den Gebäuden hängen Tafeln auf denen einige Sachen erklärt werden. Die Lokalität war leider geschlossen.

    (Translated by Google) My home castle gets 5 stars because it is my home ... there are certainly more beautiful preserved castles than Nideggen but it is the overall package of the castle, the fantastic view and the opportunities to climb and hike in the beautiful Eifel. The Rureifel is definitely worth a trip. (Original) Meine Heimatburg bekommt 5 Sterne weil sie meine Heimat ist.. es gibt sicher schönere erhaltene Burgen als Nideggen aber es ist das Gesamtpaket von der Burg, der fantastische Ausblick und die Möglichkeiten zu klettern und Wandern in der wunderschönen Eifel. Die Rureifel ist definitiv einen Ausflug wert.

    (Translated by Google) We were on the occasion of a small family celebration to eat in the restaurant in Burg Nideggen. We were surprised and pampered with a multi-course menu that exceeded everything We can highly recommend this restaurant, it does what it says on the tin M.B. (Original) Wir waren zum Anlaß einer kleinen Familienfeier zum Essen im Restaurant in der Burg Nideggen, Wir wurden mit einem alles übertreffenden mehrgängigen Menue überrascht und verwöhnt Wir können dieses Restaurant sehr empfehlen, es hält, was es verspricht M.B.

    Nice castle beautiful view.Free entry.Very clean toilets available

  • 4/5 Frany F. 1 year ago on Google
    The castle and the landscape are very beautiful and definitely worth a visit. The castle was restaurated and is very well preserved despite the old age. The restaurant with biergarten is nice too, staff is friendly and there's a cute dog. but it would be nice to have some vegan options. Im not sure how to get there but public transport, i think by car is probably the easiest way.

  • 4/5 Vadim N. 3 years ago on Google
    A neat small castle with a magnificent view of the valley around. Free entrance and quite remarkable architecture. There’s a small museum with some medieval artifacts as well. And most notably, there are many amazing hikes starting just around the castle.

  • 5/5 Maria K. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a great hike. The group i was hiking with was an important factor to make it so much enjoyable.

    (Translated by Google) We went there on Christmas Day 2020 to go for a walk. It's pretty nice there and you have a good view from the castle. Unfortunately, one "explored" the castle very quickly. (Original) Wir sind am 1. Weihnachtstag 2020 dort hin gefahren, um etwas spazieren zu gehen. Es ist ganz schön dort und von der Burg hat man einen guten Ausblick. Leider hat man die Burg recht schnell "erkundet".

  • 4/5 Karl G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The community in the church next to the castle makes the effort to design its own crib. I found this year's very successful. I have also seen many nicer nativity scenes. However, this one stands out from the large crowd and will remain in my memory. The idea of ​​integrating the nativity scene into the staircase to the choir would not have worked out just as well with a pre-purchased nativity scene. The buildings blend in well with the landscape of dead sandstone. This is, so to speak, an outpost on the northeastern edge of the Eifel, where it shows itself from a surprisingly wild and rugged side. (Original) Die Gemeinde in der Kirche neben der Burg macht sich die Mühe einer eigenen Krippengestaltung. Die diesjährige fand ich sehr gelungen. Ich habe zwar auch schon viele schönere Krippen gesehen. Diese hebt sich jedoch von der großen Menge trotzdem hervor und wird mir in Erinnerung bleiben. Die Idee, die Krippe in den Treppenaufgang zum Chor zu intgriereren wäre mit einer fertig gekauften Krippe nicht ebenso gut gelungen. Die Bauwerke fügen sich gut in die Landschaft aus toten Sandstein ein. Dies ist sozusagen ein Vorposten am Nordöstlichen Rand der Eifel, wo diese sich von einer überraschend wilden schroffen Seite zeigt.

    (Translated by Google) Nice old castle, with very good gastronomy. (Original) Schöne alte Burg, mit sehr guter Gastronomie.

  • 4/5 Paula P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We liked the castle a lot. The children had fun exploring them and just hanging out with their imaginations. Not too big and not too small for an afternoon excursion. It was beautifully lit at dusk. (Original) Die Burg hat uns gut gefallen. Die Kinder hatten Spaß sie zu erkunden und mal ihrer Phantasie nach zu hängen. Nicht zu groß und nicht zu klein für einen Ausflug am Nachmittag. In der Dämmerung war Sie sehr schön beleuchtet.

  • 5/5 Torsten J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A wonderful destination for children and families. A great idea was the search for the little gnome doors on December 20th, 2020. (Original) Wunderschön für Kinder und Familien als Ausflugsziel. Eine tolle Idee war die Suche nach den Wichteltürchen für die Kleinen am 20.12.2020.
