Discover Speicher

Speicher offers three specific points of reference for planning a trip: activities on trails and the Kyll Cycle Route, a diverse local cultural heritage, and its location on the Trier–Cologne railway line, with a train station and bus service into town. These highlights appeal to different travel plans. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether you would prefer to focus your time on outdoor activities, cultural heritage or travelling by public transport.

Hiking, Nordic Walking and Cycling

In Speicher, you can hike and go Nordic walking on developed trails. Cycling is available on the Kyll Cycle Route. The activities therefore differ in how you get around: you can plan your time around walking trails or a bike tour. Specific route conditions may change, so check them before setting out. This lets you take your preferred activity into account when choosing your stay, without assuming a particular route or duration.

Churches, Chapels and Sandstone Heritage

Speicher’s cultural heritage includes a variety of landmarks. The parish church of St. Philip and St. James contains Stations of the Cross made from Speicher clay. Several sandstone buildings add to this picture. The material used for the Stations of the Cross makes Speicher clay itself part of the town’s cultural history.

The Bildchen Chapel and Kreuzkapelle are also part of the local heritage. Other features include old sandstone grave crosses and burial mounds. The range therefore extends from religious buildings and chapels to grave crosses and burial mounds. If you would like to include cultural interests in your travel plans, Speicher offers several different points of interest rather than just a single building.

Travelling by Train and Bus

Speicher is on the Trier–Cologne railway line and has a train station. There is also a regular bus service into town. These are useful points of reference when planning your journey; check current timetables and services. If access by public transport is important to your choice of where to stay, compare connections for your travel day before finalising your plans.

Cultural Attractions in the Wider Destination of Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm

The wider destination of Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm offers more cultural attractions. The Mühlenberger Stollen Bleialf visitor mine offers one-hour guided tours, introducing visitors to ore mining in Bleialf, from geology to applied technology. The visitor mine also has a mining trail with numerous information boards about the area’s mining history. Check the latest seasonal information about tours before visiting.

The Devonium in Waxweiler introduces complex concepts in palaeontology and the science of fossil life in a fun, accessible way. The Westwall Museum is housed on three accessible levels of a bunker. Its underground corridors and rooms contain a military history exhibition. The two attractions therefore focus on different subjects: fossil life and palaeontology on the one hand, and military history on the other.

The Rittersdorf moated castle, around 700 years old, has remained almost unchanged since it was built and offers an impressive picture of late medieval and Renaissance domestic life in the modern era. The castle also houses a privately run restaurant serving refined regional cuisine. Check that the restaurant is open before your trip. This allows you to plan separately for the historical and culinary aspects of the attraction.
