Woke up and had some breakfast before heading into town to the tourist information. Manderscheid is home to two castles and so we decided that we would go and see them and then go by some supplies at the local supermarket.
The castle was very interesting but we found it a touch strange that in the English guide, which we bought only about 70 per cent of the castle was covered.
Once we had seen the castle we headed back up the huge hill on our bikes. This was a real test and called for the smallest possible gear practically all the way.
Back at the top of the hill we waited for the tourist information to open again after lunch, as we wanted to enquire about a bike trail which we had picked up a leaflet on but was all in German.
It turned out that to get on the trail it was about a 10km cycle ride from where we were so we decided to give it a miss.
We cycled back to the site and chilled for the rest of the afternoon.
In the early evening I cycled back to the local shop to purchase some food and some wine for dinner. We had steak and a bottle of wine and then went to bed.
The site was pretty nice but very noisy with kids so if that is not your thing then I would say avoid it. In the morning we planned to head to see one of the volcanic lakes, which the region is famous for before heading to cologne to meet a friend.
