デューンペルフェルトの峡谷・トップ11

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.

The Prüm Gate, a rock cut on the Ahr between Insul and Schuld. In a rock ridge that is about 100 meters long and 12 meters high, the water has carved out a gap about 6 - 8 meters wide over millions of years. The Prüm feudal lords of the Ahrgau once drove their tithes through the gate that was created on carts towards Bad Münstereifel. This is how the impressive rock gate got its name Prüm Gate. Even after the Ahr flood, you can now linger here again and even swim in the Ahr!

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.

Unbelievable what the flood has done. You stand there humbly. Hiking trail 6 goes through the DJH premises, where it is also possible to cross the Ahr.

If you like narrow, stony paths with beautiful views, you will love the route to and from the Teufelsloch. Tip: only hike there in dry weather, in wet weather the loose slate rubble could be slippery.

This gem was destroyed by the flood disaster and is no longer passable.

Great climb to the devil's hole. With a great view of the valley and Altenahr. Sturdy shoes are strongly recommended.

Very quiet spot, which is ideal for a break.
