メッケンハイムのおすすめライド

A quiet cycle path runs below the railway tracks directly along the Rhine. The route between the two towns follows good asphalt.

The Upper Gate of the town of Ahrweiler, dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, is part of the former town fortifications and stands on the western side of the wall. Locally, it is also known as the Gisem Gate, Gisem Gate, or Walporzheim Gate, after the nearby deserted village of Gesem.

Great asphalt and great views

Well located hiking car park in front of the pretty village of Hilberath

Middle section flatter, second half of the climb in cooler shade

Also suitable for sledding in winter.

It's refreshing to have a dirt road completely free of cars for once, even though there isn't much traffic on this plateau.

Made of massive steel girders, monumental, bright red, and expansive, Mark di Suvero's sculpture stands on the banks of the Rhine, illuminating the view across the river and the landscape toward the then-new capital, Berlin (see https://nrw-skulptur.net/skulptur/lallume-der-erleuchtete/). Unfortunately, the sculpture is no longer as bright red, as it is covered in graffiti.
