Tips from the Community
In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

The tower ruins in Schloßtal are called the "Finger of God" because of their weathered state. But you can't climb all the way up on a racing bike.

Neublankenheim Castle, located on the edge of the Ahbach Valley, has a varied history spanning over 700 years. First mentioned in 1272, the castle passed into the possession of the Counts of Manderscheid after the Blankenheim family died out. As early as the 16th century, the castle complex began to decay until it was acquired by the Duke of Aremberg in 1769. Today, the ruins, which were extensively renovated in 2005 and 2006 and thus saved from complete decay, belong to the Vulkaneifel district.

The building, the "Old Forge", now serves as a village community center and event location. But as the name suggests, the 19th century building was once used to practice a very old craft that was an essential part of any village at the time. As the craft lost more and more importance in the 20th century, the craft was abandoned and the old building became vacant. In the 1980s, the property was purchased by the town of Hillesheim and extensively renovated in 1981. Since then, it has served as the center of the village for the residents of Bolsdorf.
