The village of Bourscheid stands high on a plateau, bordered by the rivers Sure and Wark. There are views and walks to other villages of the commune: Michelau and Goebelsmuhle in the Sure Valley, Welscheid in the Wark Valley, and Kehmen, Lipperscheid, and Schindlermanderscheid on the plateau. There are two river beaches at Bourscheid-Plage and Dirbach. This region of the Ardennes is dominated by the ruins of the Bourscheid castle, which looks down from a rocky peak 450ft. above the Sure. The castle is undergoing illumination and restoration work.
