メッケンハイムの峡谷・トップ20

I immediately fell in love with this highlight. A fantastic valley road, fairly fresh ground, little traffic, lots of greenery, a few beautiful curves, a gentle downhill towards Altenahr, perfect for picking up the pace.

The climb behind the Vischelbach valley is overgrown in the upper part. Here, you must look for an alternative.

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.

Good road with little traffic and a moderate gradient. Leads through a tranquil side valley down to Altenahr.

The Katzenlochbach stream flows through the forest in a pretty wild way. It is exciting to explore it.

Allegedly, the Katzenlochbach is the only stream in Bonn that is still in its natural state and is allowed to meander through the valley.

Caution, the old comments before July 2021 should be treated with caution. Some of the paths along the Vischel towards the Ahr are still impassable due to the flood damage!!! This also applies to all cycle paths on the Ahr.

Now (March 2023) the valley is completely paved again
