Werther Gate, Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Monument

The Werther Gate, located in the north of the old town, is the youngest of the four city gates. It was rebuilt after it collapsed during a flood in 1416. On the exterior, above the arched portal, hang the coats of arms of the Duchy of Jülich and the city of Münstereifel. The building now houses the Natural History Museum.

Historic Old Town of Bad Münstereifel

Highlight • Historical Site

Bad Münstereifel is a historically grown romantic town with picturesque half-timbered houses, a lively pedestrian zone with attractive shops and many lively cafés along the Erft.

The historic town center with its narrow streets and alleys can be reached via four historically significant city gates in the four cardinal directions. The castle complex towers above the city. From here you can enjoy a magnificent view over Bad Münstereifel.
Since 2014, the City Outlet has been housed in the historic old town area. It is also worth taking a look around here.

Birch Avenue and Source of the Erft in Schönau

Highlight • Natural Monument

The long row of birch trees on the narrow Erft side facing the town is particularly impressive. On the other side you can see a row of spruce trees. The whole thing is cleverly designed: two water drinkers facing each other, and the trees benefit from the constant moisture. Nice to look at. However, during floods the Erft can look very different.
