ケッセリングのおすすめツーリングルート

Beautiful route from Bachem to Ramersbach. Many spectacular views. Journey time approximately 25 minutes.

As early as the 14th century, Ramersbach possessed a small chapel dedicated to Saint Barbara. When the church, built in 1738, became dilapidated, the parish decided to build a new one. The parish was hard-pressed to finance the construction of the hall, made of local quarry stone. The current church building, built in 1907/08 according to designs by Trier architect Peter Marx, is the only church in the Diocese of Trier to incorporate Art Nouveau elements into its furnishings. The ornate window glazing by Binsfeld, a glass workshop in Trier, based on designs by Josef Dornoff (1874–1944), is particularly striking. The altar is divided into three parts – both vertically and horizontally in the pedestal. The left panel depicts Abraham and Isaac, the right panel Melchizedek.

At the station, you can see the clock and its partially preserved buildings and restaurants. The old dance café had to be demolished, the Hotel zur Post is empty, and the restaurant and salon have already completed their work.

The castle's layout is rectangular. In addition to parts of the outer bailey and a gate – the so-called Gymnicher Porz – remnants of the defensive wall have also been preserved. Furthermore, on the south side of the complex stands an old gate tower (also called the Schellenturm), next to which are the ruins of the palace, which once housed a heated bishop's chamber. The first keep presumably stood on the pointed rocky outcrop in the northern corner. Extensive remains of the Romanesque castle chapel from the 12th century have been preserved to the north.

Very nice cafe with delicious cakes

I would recommend looking to the left when driving up.

"Almost 60 percent of the Ahr Cycle Path was severely damaged or partially completely destroyed during the flood. The Ahr Cycle Path is currently open again on the section between Blankenheim and Ahrbrück and between Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler and Sinzig, with detours." Information on the reconstruction of the Ahr Cycle Path can be found at https://www.ahrtal.de/

Altenburg was also affected by the terrible flooding on the Ahr. Many people died, many lost their homes and all their belongings. The residents of the Ahr Valley need tourism even during the ongoing reconstruction and are particularly happy about the returning bicycle tourists.
