And yes, I am a "repeat offender" when it comes to the Panorama Weg/Trail Pützfeld. Especially now in midsummer, it is shady, the views are still great, and a new hut with seating has been built.

I've ridden the Panorama Weg for the second time now and am always thrilled by the view, the route, and the surface. The best time is of course from spring to autumn and it's safest during the week, because there are fewer users around then.

The circular route over/at Hengstberg is very beautiful. We have already hiked this path. Unfortunately, on some of the marked paths, there are no longer any paths. Cross-country and through the Uterholz. Use the indicated farm tracks. Up there is also a memorial stone "fallen girls", whatever that may mean. I already reported the missing paths to Komoot months ago... apparently they are still indicated as usable. Not even passable with an E-MTB! Definitely take a GPS with you and check more often at summit height. Also use farm tracks on the descent. Have fun hiking Pemo Frau and dog

The St. Maria pilgrimage chapel in Pützfeld is not just a picturesque photo opportunity. It sits enthroned on the rocky slope of the Biebelsley above the Ahr, stretching its spire towards the sky. A visit to the chapel is surprising. The early Baroque interior appears to be completely preserved. The high altar, side altars, pulpit, and confessional are richly decorated and, in their coloring, are somewhat reminiscent of the venerable perfume Echt Kölnisch Wasser.

In the prayer of the day for the feast of the "Annunciation of the Lord", as this feast, mostly referred to as "Annunciation of Mary" in popular piety, is liturgically correctly designated as the patronage of this church, it says: »God, you are great and incomprehensible. According to your will, your eternal word became human in the womb of the Virgin Mary. We faithfully confess that our Savior is true God and true man. Make us worthy to share in his divine life.«
