Camping where the heath sheep sleep

A meadow on the edge of Wachendorf, which belongs to Mechernich, below the northern Eifel. A herd of white horned heath sheep graze in front of the site, outdoors year-round. In the evening, a fire burns; anyone who likes can heat the self-built clay sauna with the wood stove. From the pitch you can see the Bruder-Klaus-Feldkapelle by Peter Zumthor across the fields, 800 m away. Sausage and hides from the farm's own animals are available at the farm. Bad Münstereifel with its outlet shops in the old town is 2 km away.1

Sights in the area1

Bruder Klaus Field Chapel

Peter Zumthor's concrete chapel stands 800 m away, alone in the fields; inside, the soot-blackened cone draws the eye upward. A short detour on any walk.

Satzvey Castle

Moated castle 5 km on, known for jousting tournaments and medieval markets. The afternoon that keeps kids from grumbling.

Kommern Open-Air Museum

Old Eifel farmhouses and timber framing out in the open, 13 km away. The rainy-day fallback that fills hours even in drizzle.

Bad Münstereifel

Historic old town 2 km off, with outlet shops tucked into the half-timbered lanes. A short bike ride for supplies and a stroll.
