The programme

  • Miel Castle Garden Festival and musical cycle tours.

Out into the countryside - in Beethoven's footsteps! We are celebrating a musical castle garden festival for young and old around the idyllic Miel Castle in Swisttal (Voreifel). Spend a wonderful afternoon - individually and free of charge with open-air music, a play station for children and food and drink.

Several (chargeable) cycle tours start from Miel Castle, guided by the musicians and inventors of "Bach by Bike" - with outdoor concert experiences. The tour pauses for short concerts at surprising places along the way, in the moated castle of Morenhoven and in remote villages. The Bach by Bike ensemble plays music about nature and being on the road by Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn, Gustav Mahler, George Crumb and many others.

  • Supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Rhein-Sieg district.
