The Prüm Valley Cycle Route runs through the village, and Eifel Zoo offers its own destination with wildlife, hand-feeding and a miniature village. When choosing accommodation, you can first decide what to focus on during your trip: cycling and a visit to the zoo in Lünebach, or cultural and educational destinations in the wider Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm district.

Wildlife and a Miniature Village at Eifel Zoo

Eifel Zoo in Lünebach covers 30 hectares and is home to around 400 animals from about 60 exotic and native species. The area and animal figures give an indication of its size; they may change over time. Among the highlights are hand-feeding deer and bison. Animal-feeding opportunities may change, so it is advisable to check the current offerings before your visit.

The zoo also includes a miniature Eifel village with more than 30 buildings. This gives the small-scale replicas their own place alongside the animals. Eifel Zoo is considered a destination for family-oriented wildlife and zoo visits in the Eifel; the animal collection, feeding opportunities and miniature village appeal to different interests.

Other Route Features and Building History

The Islek Pfädchen trail is described in terms of its surface and suitability for strollers: it is considered easy to walk, is partly paved and is suitable for an all-terrain stroller. As surface conditions can change, it is a good idea to check them again before setting out.

Around 1965, St. Gertrud received an extension resembling a transept. This construction phase offers a specific architectural reference point for readers interested in the development of church architecture.

Culture and Learning in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm

In the wider travel destination of Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm, the Mühlenberger Stollen Bleialf visitor mine has a mining trail with numerous information boards about the area's mining history. One-hour guided tours through the mine explain ore mining in Bleialf, from geology to applied technology. Check the current tour dates before your visit.

The Devonium in Waxweiler presents complex concepts in palaeontology and the science of fossil life in a playful way. Visitors will find a different focus at the Westwall Museum: it is housed across three accessible floors of a bunker and features a military history exhibition in underground corridors and rooms. The two destinations therefore offer distinct themes, from fossil life to military history.

The water castle of Rittersdorf, around 700 years old, has remained almost unchanged since it was built and offers a glimpse of late-medieval and modern Renaissance domestic culture. The castle houses a privately run restaurant serving refined country cuisine. Check that the restaurant is open before your visit.
