The best dog-friendly hikes and walks around Altrich

Here on the steps by the bridge over the Lieser river, you can sit comfortably and simply relax.

The wooden bridge over the Lieser River at this point has a few steps on the side (street) opposite the villa. There's no ramp (side ramp). Getting up there with a heavy e-bike is almost impossible without extra effort (removing batteries, taking off luggage, etc.). Even then, you'd probably have to use the e-bike push assist, and we haven't tried how well that works. Conclusion: Don't plan an e-bike route towards the villa that includes this bridge. PS: The opposite direction, from the villa across the Lisa River to the street, could work, but that would also be a "heavy" undertaking in my opinion. PPS: Simply carry bio-bikes up on your shoulder 😊

The best apartment you could ever have! Gut Kirchhof ❤️🤓🙏

Always unruly 🍻🤓🙈

St. Mark's Parish Church, Wittlich The present parish church, located in the historic city center, was built between 1709 and 1723 under Archbishops Johann Hugo von Orsbeck and Franz-Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg and is under the protection of the parish patron, St. Mark. The church was not formally consecrated until 1727. It is a four-bay pillar basilica in a mixture of post-Gothic and simple early Baroque forms, divided into a nave and two side aisles. A three-story tower with a curved dome houses the bells at the west end. The high altar was acquired in 1749 from the Dominican Church in Koblenz. The high-quality choir stalls on the south wall were built around 1770, those on the north wall were recreated around 1820, and both were expanded again in 1927. The side altars in the side aisles, dating from 1747, were made by the court carpenter Conrad Fischer. The organ case from 1769, crafted by Peter and Nikel Schreiber, has been preserved. The organ was rebuilt in 1848 by Wilhelm Breidenfeld of Trier and in 1958 by the organ builder Johannes Klais of Bonn. It has 38 stops distributed across three manuals and the pedals. The baptismal font was created in 1727 by the Koblenz sculptor Lorenz Staudacher. Among the many figurative works of art distributed throughout the church, the 15th-century wooden figure of St. John the Baptist stands out. The freestanding altar table (1971) and the ambo (1976), with their tree of life symbolism, are works by the Wittlich sculptor Hans Scherl. The church windows were created after the war, between 1949 and 1952, as coordinated cycles. In the north aisle, they depict scenes from the Old Testament (by Alois Stettner and Prof. Heinrich Dieckmann), and in the south aisle, New Testament depictions of saints (by Prof. Dieckmann and Maurice Rocher). The choir windows by Prof. Georg Meistermann depict the high feasts of the liturgical year: Christmas, Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost.

The Roman villa of Wittlich, built between 150 and 200 AD, was inhabited during the heyday of the Trier region. It is one of the largest estates north of the Alps.

The viewing point with table and chairs invites you to take a break, but the highway noise is disturbing.
