カルテンボーンの洞窟・トップ20

The view of the slopes with grapes, the river, the white stone villages, the hills, the forests and other ruins and buildings is really wonderful.

The view and the landscape are incredibly diverse: large forests of coniferous and deciduous trees alternate with fields, meadows and orchards, heathland and peat landscapes.

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.

near the ruins a beautiful viewpoint with a bench in peace and quiet

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

From here you have a great view of the Ahr valley. The climb was definitely worth it.

Mayschoß belongs to the Walporzheim wine-growing area in the Ahr region. There are 59 wine-growing businesses in the town, and the vineyard area is 103 hectares. Around 70% of the wine grown is red wine grape varieties (as of 2010). In 1979, there were still 89 businesses operating, and the vineyard area at that time was 91 hectares.
