シャルケンバッハの洞窟・トップ20

The view from the ruins of Altenahr and Mayschoß, where the Ahr meanders wildly romantically in narrow bends through rock formations and steep vineyards that are terraced with dry stone walls, is magnificent. The Mediterranean climate and the slate soil create optimum conditions for the ripening of the predominantly blue grapes. The wine route is a must to walk once in your life.

Be amazed as you look through the grate into the depths of the pit.

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

The castle's layout is a square. In addition to parts of the outer bailey and a gate - the so-called Gymnicher Porz - remains of the defensive wall have also been preserved. There is also an old gate tower (also known as the Schellenturm) on the south side of the complex, next to which is the ruin of the palace, which once had a heated bishop's chamber. The first keep probably stood on the pointed rocky peak in the north corner. To the north of this, extensive remains of the Romanesque castle chapel from the 12th century have been preserved.

注意深いハイカーなら、道を縁取るカルバリーのステーションに気づいたことでしょう。川のずっと上にあるこの展望地点からは、アール渓谷の美しい景色を眺めることができます。そこで、インスブルックの司教ラインホルト・シュテッヒャー（*1921年、+ 2013年）の適切な言葉を思い出したいと思います。彼は生涯を通じて自然と山々に深く結びつき、それらを私たち人間に託された神の素晴らしい創造物と見なしていました。 「静寂は、より深い人間性への招待である。」

The climb to Saffenburg is worth it: Not only does the perfect view over Mayschuss and its vineyards await you here, you can also reward yourself with a delicious glass of wine at any time. Next to the refuge there is a wine vending machine with delicious white, rosé and red wines as well as grape juice and water. Glasses are also available for loan. Payment is only possible cashless.

In sunny weather you will find a nice place to linger with a view of Are Castle

Very beautiful city center with the half-timbered houses and the well-preserved city fortifications from the Middle Ages. >> Ahrweiler << - the older of the two districts, was first mentioned as >> Ahrwilere << in the year 893 in a goods list of the Prüm Abbey. This abbey had large possessions in Ahrweiler. Until 1100 Ahrweiler belonged to the Argau. from 1100 - 1246 sovereignty was exercised by the Counts of Are; From them it passed in 1246 to the Counts of Hochstaden of the Archbishopric of Cologne, who remained rulers until 1794. Archbishop Konrad von Are-Hochstaden, who confirmed Ahrweiler's city rights in 1248, made the city, together with Bonn, Neuss and Andernach, co-capital of Electoral Cologne. In keeping with this political and strategic importance, the sovereign had Ahrweiler fortified with a fortification that is still worth seeing today. The moats, city walls, gates and towers from the 13th century are almost completely preserved today. During the Thirty Years' War (1633, 1642, 1646) the city was besieged, looted and pillaged by enemies; During the 3rd French War of Robbery on May 1, 1689, all but 10 houses were completely destroyed. It took years for the reconstruction to take place. From 1794 - 1814 Ahrweiler was under French rule, which was followed by belonging to Prussia from 1815 - 1945. Ahrweiler had to endure the last enemy attacks in 1044 and 1945. The bombing left the southern part of the city center completely in ruins. But reconstruction took place quickly. Anyone who visits Ahrweiler as a lover of antiquity will be particularly impressed by the St. Laurentius parish church (1269) - one of the first Gothic hall churches in the Rhineland - and the excavation work on the recently discovered probably second largest Roman villa north of the Alps.
