Zülpich combines Roman bathing culture, medieval traces of the town and Seepark. This gives you several options when planning your stay: you can treat culture, a visit to the park and tours as separate elements. If you are looking for a hotel in Zülpich, it helps to first consider which of these themes you would like to shape your trip.

Roman Baths and Medieval Traces of the Town

The Roman baths on Mühlenberg are among the best-preserved of their kind north of the Alps. Their architectural remains are incorporated into the Römerthermen – Museum of Bathing Culture. The museum also preserves characteristic Roman underfloor heating and a water supply and wastewater system. The structure and its technical features together offer insight into Roman bathing culture. The Römerthermen are among Zülpich’s cultural attractions.

Thirteen sites in the medieval town center offer a different way to explore the town’s history. Historical traces can be explored at these locations with the help of information panels from ArchaeoRegion Nordeifel. This spreads the experience across several places rather than limiting it to a single museum visit. Large sculptures by Ulrich Rückriem add to the cultural sights. Moated castles and manor houses are also among the attractions associated with Zülpich.

Seepark and Countryside

Seepark is located on the grounds of the 2014 State Garden Show and covers 20 hectares, with extensive play and activity areas. Its facilities include more than 5,000 square meters of sandy beach with palm trees. The beach and large open spaces offer a different focus from the historic sites in the town center. The park is designed to be accessible. If specific facilities or accessibility are important to your plans, check the latest information before your visit.

Zülpich is set in a largely flat Bördeland landscape with stream valleys and Seepark. Cycling is one of the local leisure activities. The cycling and hiking routes in and around Zülpich include the VIA Erlebnisraum Römerstraße Agrippastraße Köln-Trier, the Tälerroute Rotbach, the Tälerroute Neffelbach and the Wasserburgenroute. Zülpich cycling and hiking station serves as a starting and ending point for walking and cycling tours. Alongside cultural attractions, tours therefore offer another focus for planning your trip.

Getting to Seepark

There is a bus stop at Seepark’s main entrance. If you are traveling by car, around 1,500 free parking spaces are available at Seepark. On weekends, train services run to Düren and Euskirchen via the Bördebahn. Check current train connections and parking information before setting out, as these details may change.

The attractions appeal to different interests: the Römerthermen and information panels offer different perspectives on history, while Seepark and the tours provide other options for planning your day. You can therefore focus your stay on one theme or plan several themes as separate activities.
