Ahr bridge at Ahrdorf station

Highlight • Bridge

Idyllic along the Ahr, a left one. Tributary of the Rhine

The memorial commemorates the flood disaster of July 14, 2021, when at least 135 people lost their lives in the Ahr Valley. The Dorsel campsite at the time was the first place in the Ahr Valley to be severely affected by the flood.

If you ride here, you will be on the wonderful Ahrtal cycle path.
Characteristic features of the former railway line: information boards about the history of the Ahr Valley Railway, stone retaining walls with cozy niches that invite you to take a break, the former train station building in Müsch and a double signal line your path.
The route does not present any major difficulties. The caveat is that there are only a few catering establishments on the Ahrtal cycle path. You have to look for them. Not everyone has good opening hours.


It's nice that this retaining wall didn't fall victim to the demolition hammer 🍀.
Especially on hot days, it's easy to drive or sit in the shade and study the numerous information boards.

Insul Tunnel on the Ahr Cycle Path

Highlight • Structure

the Prümer Tor is unfortunately a little inconspicuous directly on the main road between Schuld and Insul. You have to watch out for the benches on the main street. It goes down a few steps. So keep your eyes peeled when searching

The Ahr Valley Cycle Path now runs through a railway tunnel of the former Ahr Valley Railway, which is now located between Insul and Schuld.

June 14, 2025,Electric Devils Tour - Drei-Mühlen-Wasserfall
As part of the "Tour de Ahrtal," the "car-free Ahr Valley" cycling campaign day, I traveled to Dümpelfeld on Friday evening. The "Tour de Ahrtal" will then take place on Sunday. After a pleasant, enjoyable evening with some Electric Devils, about 20 EDs took a tour to the Drei-Mühlen Waterfall, led by Christian Schöfferle. After the waterfall, we enjoyed a …

In Adenau you cycle over the Hirzenstein in the direction of Wimbach, then continue on the country road in the direction of Barweiler. In the valley at the bridge, turn right to the Barweiler Mühle, continue to the Werft chapel and meet the country road, which you have to follow to Müsch. Sometimes you have to follow the country road …

As every year, the country road on the Ahr was closed to car traffic. From Adenau I started the circuit towards Dümpelfeld in sunshine but against the wind. From Dümpelfeld you didn't see any more cars, but tons of cyclists. In Insul, the first aid station tempts with beer and sausages.
Only in guilt did I pull out my wallet. …

Our Wiesengrund round yesterday, Wednesday. From Adenau via Wimbach, Barweiler Mühle, Kirmutscheid, along the Ahrtal cycle path, up to Lommersdorf and on to Eichenbach. There we stopped at the Wiesengrund country inn; in summer the musical beer garden takes place every Wednesday. The grilled steaks and salads were super delicious! After an obligatory visit to "Bläke Fritz", the Eifel original …
