Historic Old Town of Rheinbach

Highlight • Historical Site

You will immediately be drawn into this beautiful city. Whether it's the historical towers, the neat gable-end houses with their shops or the picturesque pedestrian paths, everything is very impressive. I particularly liked the ice cream parlor opposite the Wasemer Turm (round tower from the 12th century), in front of which one could lick ice cream on a bench with cushions and watch this tower and life in Rheinbach.

View of Rheinbach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rheinbach is located at the southern end of the Lower Rhine Bay, from which the landscape slowly rises here towards the Eifel. At the edge of the Rheinbacher Wald there is a beautiful view over the city and the surrounding fields.

Campus Klein-Altendorf and Historic Half-Timbered House

Highlight • Historical Site

A nice stop.
On a meadow you can see a pot-bellied pig, ducks, guinea fowl, chickens, goats and horses.
This includes a very nice half-timbered house. Opposite and nearby are buildings of the Klein-Altendorf campus of the agricultural faculty of the University of Bonn. Nearby is a former transformer tower converted for birds and bats. There are benches for resting (apple route).

Rhenish Apple Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The “Rhine Apple Route” is a cycle path 124 kilometers long that connects the towns and communities of Bornheim, Alfter, Wachtberg, Meckenheim, Rheinbach and Swisttal in the Rhein-Sieg district on the left bank of the Rhine. It is a project of the “Rhein-Voreifel-Touristik eV”. The route covers the largest fruit and vegetable growing area in North Rhine-Westphalia, with around three million apple trees in the region.
In each of the different towns there is a local side route, sometimes called loops, as well as adventure stations.

Campus Klein-Altendorf Experimental Farm

Highlight • Structure

The Campus Klein-Altendorf (CKA) is one of the three external laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture. Numerous tests are carried out here by university institutes and cooperating research institutions (see research areas). The focus is on topics related to crop production. The CKA is also a location for courses and excursions (see teaching) and offers numerous opportunities for the implementation of practical theses.
