Bed and Breakfast Mayen
Whether it's to sample the local beer and gastronomic delights or to admire the fairytale castles, a visit to the German volcanic town of Mayan is full of surprises. Make your weekend break complete by booking a B&B from Bed and Breakfast Mayen where your friendly hosts will give you a true German ‘Herzlich Willkommen’.
Genoveva Castle
One of the landmarks in Mayen is the late gothic Genoveva Burg castle. The castle has a rich history, having been destroyed and rebuilt many times during various conflicts. It now houses the Eifelmuseum and disused Slate Mines beneath. Well worth a visit during your city trip to a Bed and Breakfast Mayen. If you come in October it hosts a huge street festival in the courtyard. With food and beer galore, the streets are filled with revellers and the castle makes the perfect backdrop.
Volcanicity
Evidence of the Eifel region's volcanic past can be witnessed in the volcanic fields surrounding Mayen. In the final eruption a magma chamber collapsed forming a huge crater which filled up with water creating the Laacher See Lake. Now visitors flock here to take a cool dip. Hire a boat from the Benedictine Abbey of Maria Laach. With its turrets and towers, the abbey has a fairytale fortress appearance and is the start of many walking trails.
Old Town
Maybe choose a Bed and Breakfast Mayen near the Old Town Centre and visit the Marktplatz on a Saturday. This is the place the locals gather to enjoy a drink or something to eat at one of the restaurants and cafes surrounding the square. The market square is centred with a beautiful fountain and is a lovely location to stroll and shop for regional products.
Weekend Break
Mayen is the ideal location for a Weekend Break. With several interesting hiking and biking trails the area is perfect for active holidays or if sightseeing is your thing, Mayen offers many significant historic attractions. Make your Weekend Break complete with a stay at one of our carefully selected B&Bs at Bed and Breakfast Mayen.
