アールヴァイラーの峡谷・トップ20

The Devil's Bone is a cooled lava flow whose bizarre shape was created by volcanic processes and erosion.

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

The Selbach Gorge Valley can be easily combined with other regional trails, such as the Eifel Ladder Route or the Bergheidenweg dream trail, which leads into the Vordereifel and along the Nette River and into the Selbach Valley.

Cool rock formations

A very beautiful stream valley, the icing on the cake after crossing the stream with the stepping stones. Then it goes back to the heath. This change is perfect!

The impressive structure of this open-air Stations of the Cross, beautifully embedded in nature a little above the village of Adenau, has two grottos: + At the beginning one with a depiction of Jesus' prayer on the Mount of Olives, + At the end one with a depiction of the burial of Jesus. In between, the well-known 14 Stations of the Cross are lined up along the Stations of the Cross.

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!
