The Ludendorff Bridge, known as the Remagen Bridge, was a two-track railway bridge over the Rhine between Remagen and Erpel. It was commissioned for military reasons in 1916 during the First World War and named in honor of the Army Quartermaster General, Erich Ludendorff, on May 1, 1918, for the inauguration of Kaiser Wilhelm II. On March 7, 1945, at the end of the Second World War, a small vanguard of US soldiers reached the undamaged bridge and captured it. Wehrmacht soldiers tried in vain to destroy the bridge in the days following its capture, because according to the Wehrmacht leadership's plans, all Rhine bridges were to be blown up. However, less explosives (300 kg instead of 600 kg) and less efficient explosives (Donarit instead of Ekrasit) were used than planned. During the demolition, the bridge was briefly lifted from its supports. It finally collapsed on March 17, 1945, likely as a result of the demolition. The Peace Museum in the bridge towers, located since 1980, impressively displays images and documents from that time, everyday items and equipment of the soldiers fighting on the bridge, and much more. Visitors are immersed in the historical events of the Battle of Remagen at the original site and will understand the significance of capturing this bridge and the courage and determination required to face the associated real dangers, even one's own death. The bridge towers on the Remagen side are used as a Peace Museum. On the Erpel side, cultural events take place in the tunnel.

Mighty rock faces, trass caves to be explored, jungle atmosphere in the Wolfsschlucht with a unique waterfall and bubbling springs along the way. The alternation between dreamy stream valleys and panoramic views is impressive.

This beautiful waterfall is located at the highest point of the Wolfschlucht.

When crossing the Trass caves you go through a historical disaster area, the pumice or Trass are the ejections of the Laacher See volcano.

When you cross the Trass caves, you go through a historical disaster area, it is about the eruptions of the Laacher See volcano, which erupted around 13,000 years ago.

The Wolfsschlucht near Kell is a great hiking destination, to the left and right of the path there are huge rock faces and there is also a waterfall to see!

Cultural events take place regularly in the old railway tunnel.

Very nice waterfall. Best done in the morning during the week.
