Tips

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.

Very nice little place with a few options for walks and small hikes and a lot of half-timbered flair - also quite quiet during the week.

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.
