Engelsley Cliff on the Ahr

Highlight • Natural Monument

Impressive rock face on the edge of the Ahr River!

The area near Altenahr where the Ahr River cuts deep into the mountains is called the Langfigtal.

View of Are Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Look very mystical. One might assume that Harry Potter is there.
Was often worked out by the Ahr tourism "four mountains four peaks" as a contact point. Refreshment station with regional offers.

Mountain trail at the Teufelsloch

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

If you like narrow, stony paths with beautiful views, you will love the route to and from the Teufelsloch.
Tip: only hike there in dry weather, in wet weather the loose slate rubble could be slippery.

June 1, 2024,Tour um Altenahr
The tour had everything and was definitely not for the faint-hearted. If you are even slightly afraid of heights, you should stay away from it.

It really is an adventure!

My daughter and I agree that sometimes it was not entirely safe and small mistakes could have serious consequences. Alone along the water - one wrong step and you fall …

Today I did a tour that I had had on my list for a long time but didn't dare. Because of up, down, Alpine sections, where I said out loud well if this is right here🙈. What can I say it was awesome sorry🤣. Today I showed myself where the frog has the curls🤣🥵. I skipped the Hornberghütte, it was …

Today we went from Altenburg an der Ahr first to the Hornberg..the path starts directly from the parking lot behind the nursing home. After a short time, it goes right up very steeply to the Hornberg vantage point, which offers a fantastic view of the Engeley and Teufelsley with the Ahr loop, then it goes steeply downhill in the direction …

Awesome tour!! For me as an older "flatland Tyrolean" it was a real, almost reckless challenge. Almost more climbing or scrambling than hiking with amazing views.
Overall, however, I am very, very happy to have managed it. Great!

Canceled today in Kreuzberg because the temperatures were so oppressive and there wasn't enough to drink at the end... too bad, but health comes first

This is a great but also strenuous tour in the Ahr Valley.

We parked in Altenburg, where there are a few options on the road. After crossing the Ahr, there is a gentle climb to the "merciful Jesus" to start with. (We got lost here for a moment - skip it, there is nothing to see...)

A great and challenging hike. I doubt the kilometers a little. Another device showed 8.4 km

Strenuous, but one of my best hikes. The weather was sunny and dry. If it rains, it will probably be quite slippery in some places...
