There is a beautiful view of Aremberg.

Nice old path, but slippery when wet.

From here you have a beautiful view of the village of Fuchshofen in the Ahr Valley.

Hello, nice pictures and tips - only the title is not right, who can improve it: This is about the castle and palace ruins Arenberg near Aremberg in the Eifel - how Arenberg became Aremberg - see photo by Robbimama

The foundation stone for the Eichenbach Chapel was laid in July 1937 and dedicated to the 14 Holy Helpers in Need. The Holy Helpers are a group of 14 saints whom the people call upon in times of need and danger. Their veneration spread from Vierzehnheiligen (Franconia) during the great plague epidemics and social hardships of the 14th century. The 14 wooden figures from Eichenbach come from the chapel of Maßholder, which was formerly a farm near the confluence of the Eichenbach and the Ahr.

Just a few meters after starting the 4th stage of the Ahrsteig, I had my first contact with the Ahr River. It was in the form of a memorial commemorating the terrible flood disaster 🌊 of 2021. Right behind it is the slow and peacefully flowing Ahr River. I saw aquatic plants swaying gently in the gentle current and lively trout. It's hard to imagine that this seemingly peaceful river devastated the valley back then, destroyed livelihoods, and claimed so many lives... 😰

This striking vantage point, which hikers/walkers reach on the Geopfad (Geopath) above Schuld an der Ahr, also has a name ending in "Lay" (sometimes spelled "Ley," as here). This choice of name suggests slate as the underlying rock. Since we are located here – geologically speaking – in the "Rhenish Slate Mountains," the number of corresponding "Ley" sites is not surprising.

Historic path. Eyes on the ground!
