At the end of a cul-de-sac, the Ahr rises here in a well room that can be seen behind two gates. Compared to the sources of other rivers (which can sometimes hardly be found in the forest), this one is very easy to access, photogenic and the Ahr already has enough water to drive a small water wheel a little downstream in the village.

A "must" for visitors to Blankenheim. Above all, it is unusual that the spring does not arise in the wild, but under this almost 300-year-old house.
