The Ahr River in Altenburg

Highlight • River

The Ahr valley, perfect for the road bike tour at any time. It doesn't matter whether it's up or down it's worth it, also suitable for groups (Belgian roundabout). Finally, I recommend the ascent via Dernau or at the other end, the ascent to Obliers / Lies to leave this beautiful valley.

It will probably take a while before the damage caused by the flood in July 2021 has all been repaired. But an idea. you already get how beautiful the Ahr Valley can be.

Steinbergs Bridge Dernau

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful, old stone bridge over the Ahr.
Update Oct. 21: One of the few bridges that survived the flood in July 2021 - there is some damage, but the bridge is passable...
Update July 23: The bridge is easy to reach again, as the temporary garbage dump near Dernau has now been closed. It is also easily passable.
There are now also numerous temporary bridges - mostly near destroyed bridges...

Upper Gate of Ahrweiler

Highlight • Monument

The approximately 20 meter high Obertor is one of Ahrweiler's four city gates from the 13th century. The gate consists of a three-story tower, four corner towers and a hipped roof and is located in the west of the city.
On the side is the passage for the Mühlenteich stream into the city.
