Heimbach, the gateway to the enchanting German Eifel, exudes centuries of history and charm in every cobblestone alley.
With its picturesque location on the banks of the River Rur, this historic town embraces visitors with an aura of tranquility and authenticity.
The old half-timbered houses, draped in blooming ivy and colorful flowers, form a romantic backdrop from a bygone era.
The impressive castle, towering above the town, proudly guards its heritage and offers a panoramic view over the green valleys.
The cobbled streets invite exploration, with every turn revealing a new piece of history.


The Rursee is a majestic reservoir located in the picturesque surroundings of Heimbach.
With its crystal-clear blue water surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, it offers an oasis of peace and beauty.


Mariawald Abbey is a serene sanctuary nestled amidst the tranquil Eifel landscape.
Its ancient walls echo centuries of devotion, enveloping visitors in a timeless aura of spirituality.
The abbey's Gothic architecture, adorned with intricate details, stands as a testament to its rich history and cultural significance.


This region is worth exploring and allowing yourself to be enchanted by it.


Everything is shot with Dji Mini 3 Pro, Dji Mini 2, Dji Osmo Pocket 3 and Dji Osmo Action 4.

Awesome scenery and buildings.  The interior shots of the abbey are absolutely stunning.    Another excellent job Patrick.  

Were the shots inside the abbey done with the OP3 or the OA4?  I'm guessing OP3.

Thank You Downtown.

You guessed right, I used the op 3 for the interior shots. It's a beast in lowlight and for interior or night shots my n°1 to use.

Awesome short film and a masterful use of DJI tools.

Impressive place.

Thats quite imposing how they built that on the hill.  

Absolutely splendid, Trikke.

Impressive place.

It sure is Depp. How that little town lays in between the hills is incredible. It was steep to hike those hills but worth it. And the rursee is the biggest artificial see on this side of Germany, it's all meant for drinking water.

So true for many castles and historical buildings. They places where the stand and the men that left their sweat and blood to do the impossible, but they did.

So funny to have you show me places of Germany that I haven't been to or even heard of...

Germany is at least 10 times bigger then Belgium and I haven't been or heard of everything in my own country.
So it's perfectly normal for you too Depp. So much difference in Germany, beautiful places and still lots to discover.

You are most welcome

Thanks, I had a nice day. Hope you had one too.

You're most welcome Patrick.  Same here about having a good day.  I dove on an old World War II era plane that I found on a dive Saturday.  On Saturday I was getting low on air supply when I came across the plane so had to surface.  I didn't have any spare tanks with me so I went back on Sunday with 2 tanks and got to really check it out up close.  I'm amazed that it was so well preserved after being in the water for about 80 years.  Unfortunately, I was not able to film it as I lost my GoPro11 on a previous dive trip to a Blue Hole site.  I'm considering buying an underwater drone but I am stuck on deciding between two models.

Woow discovering an ww II plane (which model was it ?) That's awesome. When you made a decision concerning your underwater drone then certainly post shots of that plane.

It was an old Vought F4U Corsair.  I think they were used mostly in World War II and possibly the Korean war.
