    Take your time and admire the historic town center. It is fascinating with its beautiful half-timbered houses and the Ahr spring, which is located in the middle of the town.

      The "old town" of Blankenheim is mostly well preserved or restored and (apart from a few "modern architectural mistakes") worth seeing. Coming on the Way of St. James from Cologne (or in the variant from Bonn), the pilgrim to Bad Münstereifel - where both routes unite - now reaches this place as a stage destination on the further path through the Eifel in the direction of Trier.

        Cozy old village that has kept its character. Definitely worth a visit. Just stroll from the source of the Ahr through the alleys and discover something beautiful on every corner.
