The valley of the wild Endert is fantastically beautiful to hike. Countless impressions have to be taken in. Even if you think you already know some of it, you will immediately discover something new. Nature, birdsong, the softly gurgling Endert and how she moves through the narrow valley. Islands in the stream bed, quaint, rooted, rocky paths, sometimes so narrow directly between the house or rocks and Endert that you have to walk carefully. With bridges, the side of the route changes again and again. Uniquely beautiful.

The Endert hiking trail from Ulmen to Cochem is 20 km long and conveys an unimaginably wide range of impressions, but not in the way of the 115 photos published here. The creativity of the supposed photographer leaves a lot to be desired; always the same objects, no variety. As I already said, the objects are available in such a variety that one could have taken 115 completely different photos. But that requires a certain amount of creativity.

The Lion Castle The Löwenburg above the half-timbered village of Monreal is a so-called spur castle and was first mentioned in a document in 1229. Count Hermann III von Virneburg is considered to be the builder of the Löwenburg. According to tradition, he is said to have built the complex on the property of his brother Philipp following a division agreement. However, the resulting disputes between the brothers were later resolved and Philip assigned his rights to the region to his brother. Today, large parts of the Löwenburg are still preserved, which give a good impression of how stately the castle once looked. First and foremost, the remains of the 25 meter high keep with its three meter thick walls are visible from afar. The high entrance to the imposing keep faces towards the valley and is therefore strategically located on the side facing away from the enemy. The tower is also freely accessible as a viewing tower.
