Manderscheid, Spa town in Bernkastel-Wittlich district, Germany.
The town of Manderscheid sits at an elevation of 388 meters, with two medieval castles positioned on opposite cliffs above the Lieser River.
The Oberburg and Niederburg castles established in the 11th century played central roles in regional conflicts between the Electorate of Trier and Luxembourg.
The annual Castle Festival in August transforms the grounds between the castles into a medieval celebration with tournaments, crafts, and traditional performances.
The Manderscheid Castle Trail extends for five kilometers through the valley, connecting both fortresses while providing access to multiple viewing platforms.
The Maar Museum presents the geological formation of volcanic crater lakes specific to this section of the Eifel region through exhibits and interpretive displays.
