February 27, 2022,🥾sonniges Picknick am Schwedenkopf 😎

a wonderful sunny day on the Ahr. The Schwedenkopf invites you to a panoramic view 😎. Plus a snack with homemade Vinschgauern 😇. what are we doing fine
The war memorial in the forest, on the other hand, suddenly doesn't seem quite so historical anymore🤔.
My request: Lord, let the brain rain - please hurry!!!

October 30, 2025,🇩🇪 20251030 - Indian Summer im Ahrtal 🍁🍂🌞

This morning we decided to take a day off. 🥾😎 We were debating between the High Fens or the Ahr Valley.

We opted for a hike in the Ahr Valley, a route we did almost exactly two years ago.

We didn't regret it at all; we had a fantastic day. It couldn't have been better. 🌞🍄‍🟫🍂🍁🍃

Actually, I didn't really have time, and actually it would have been better to give the injured bones a little rest, BUT:

If the Ahr Valley shows itself with snow and - at least temporarily - also with blue sky, then you have to go there somehow...

Short autumn tour in the Ahr valley with a beautiful play of colors. We had wind, clouds and sun in constant change.

We saw the tour at @joetobn and spontaneously rented it. Thank you. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Autumn in the vineyards of the Ahr valley. I thought about it for a long time and yes you should do it. The Ahr valley is so beautiful. A small sign of the donation and that we love it and don't forget it .... Above Dernau part of the Saffelsberg round, a small via ferrata and yes also over the …

Today it had to be the Ahr valley, it was a long time ago.
After much deliberation, should we shouldn't ... we have decided to do it.
It was the right decision 👍
It's bad to see what the Ahr has done below ... but it doesn't help the region either if you stay away.
