In the hills a few miles west of Bernkastel, in what appears to be an improbable location in the woods, there is the Flugausstellung Leo Junior (aeronautical museum). On display are several guided missiles and full-size airplanes, both commercial and military. Of all things, the original full-size plywood mock-up (non-flying version) of the Concorde (the super-sonic passenger airplane) is now used as a coffee-shop in the woods, on top of this mountain. The museum building contains aircraft engines, and numerous other exhibits.
