View of the Ahr Valley vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

In today's sunny weather, the dark grape berries gave off an incredible sweet scent. The view of the valley was fantastic.

It couldn't be more beautiful. From the bench you have a wonderful view over the vineyards and down to the Ahr. It's the perfect place for a break.

This bench is placed directly under an apricot tree and offers us a wonderful view of the Ahr Valley.

View of the Ahr Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice view of the Ahr Valley!
The village of Marienthal with the monastery can still be seen to the east.
The former monastery, now winery is always worth a visit.
Very beautiful!

Today, the weather app showed a special constellation in the Ahr Valley: thick fog, a slight reddening of the sky at sunrise, and then full sun. So let's go! A hike in the foggy autumnal Ahr Valley can be particularly fascinating because the fog creates a mystical and tranquil atmosphere. The autumn colors of the vineyards and forests are muted …

Today we went for a brisk and nice round in the county and in the vineyards in the Ahr valley.

The appeal of this nature tour lies in the contrast between the varied forest and meadow landscape behind Bölingen and Holzweiler and the spectacular paths through the steep vineyards above Dernau and Marienthal. Unfortunately, even 1.5 years after the flood …

Bölingen is a district of the community Grafschaft, which lies north of the Ahr valley in RLP.
Today we started from Bölingen through beautiful forest, complemented by beautiful views towards the Siebengebirge.
And suddenly the vineyards on the Ahr appeared above Kloster Marienthal and Dernau. The former government bunker could also be seen from above. Of course, the flood damage …

Today's itinerary included NAE Tour No. 7 from Grafschaft/Bölingen to the Ahr River above Dernau.

This circular tour can be downloaded for free from the website natuaraktiverleben.de.

It's a very beautiful tour. The distant views from above the Ahr River are always very impressive.

Something had to happen today, and it had to be outdoors. I was late again, but found this tour because the S23 is right on my doorstep. Took bus 849 for some sightseeing and almost to the hiking parking lot.
Tried today without poles after a long time, other muscles should get a workout!!!💪 . It went well. I've already …

What a beautiful hike today in this great sunny weather.
This hike is particularly suitable for sunny days.
The start is on the designated hiking car park at the edge of the forest.
It also goes directly into the pleasantly cool shady forest.
The path is pleasant to walk.
This is followed by sunny sections of the route and shady …
