バートノイエナール-アールヴァイラーの天然記念物・トップ20

During wine week there will be a wine kiosk here and you can buy a holder to put your wine glass in 😀

The devil once went to the Ahr valley and was so pleased with the land and its people, but especially the excellent red wine, that he forgot his way home. One day, while he was resting on the mountain opposite Are Castle, his grandmother approached him in the form of a beautiful girl. In the arms of the lovesick devil, she quickly changed back into the disgusting old woman he knew all too well. Angrily, he grabbed his grandmother and threw her back through the rock face into hell. This is how the Teufelsloch came into being, which can still be seen above Altenahr today.

A little below the Plateau you will pass this vantage point of Drachenburg Castle on the way. The view of the (almost kitschy) castle with the Rhine and the Bonn skyline in the background is great. Photos from the small platform almost automatically have postcard quality.

The corner far above the river offers a very nice view of the Ahr valley.

Drachenburg Castle is a castle on the Drachenfels in Koenigswinter. It was built in record time from 1882 to 1884 in the style of historicism (especially neo-early gothic on the exterior and neo-renaissance in the interior) as a representative residence for Stephan von Sarter, who, however, never lived in the castle. After his death, the castle was subjected to several changes in use.

breathtaking vision

Very nice view from above

"...Anyone who would like to visit a fairytale castle in NRW should go to Königswinter in the Siebengebirge. Here the Drachenburg Castle is enthroned high up on the Drachenfels...." You can find more information about this at: https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/schloss-drachenburg
