The view from the ruins of Altenahr and Mayschoß, where the Ahr meanders wildly romantically in narrow bends through rock formations and steep vineyards that are terraced with dry stone walls, is magnificent. The Mediterranean climate and the slate soil create optimum conditions for the ripening of the predominantly blue grapes. The wine route is a must to walk once in your life.

Be amazed as you look through the grate into the depths of the pit.

During wine week there will be a wine kiosk here and you can buy a holder to put your wine glass in 😀

The castle's layout is a square. In addition to parts of the outer bailey and a gate - the so-called Gymnicher Porz - remains of the defensive wall have also been preserved. There is also an old gate tower (also known as the Schellenturm) on the south side of the complex, next to which is the ruin of the palace, which once had a heated bishop's chamber. The first keep probably stood on the pointed rocky peak in the north corner. To the north of this, extensive remains of the Romanesque castle chapel from the 12th century have been preserved.

Kreuzberg was first mentioned in a document in 893 in the Prüm Urbar as Cruceberg. Around 1100, the settlement came into the possession of the Counts of Are, who had a first house built on the Kreuzberg for one of their administrators.[5] Archbishop Konrad von Are-Hochstaden enfeoffed Kuno von Vischenich (also Cuno/Cono/Conz von Fischenich), knight and steward of the Archbishopric of Cologne, with Kreuzberg and allowed him to build a fortified castle on the mountain, the construction of which he supported financially. After the castle was completed, Kuno and his wife Guda gave the castle as a fief to the Archbishopric of Cologne in April 1343 and were enfeoffed with it in return.[5] Kreuzberg Castle was thus an open house of the Archbishops of Cologne in the following period.

주의 깊은 등산객이라면 길을 따라 늘어선 십자가의 길 표시를 놓치지 않았을 것입니다. 강 위쪽의 이 전망대에서는 아르탈 계곡의 아름다운 전망을 감상할 수 있으며, 이곳에서 저는 인스브루크의 주교인 라인홀트 슈테허(Reinhold Stecher, *1921, + 2013)의 적절한 생각을 떠올리고 싶습니다. 그는 평생 동안 자연과 산에 깊이 연결되어 있었으며, 그 안에서 우리 인간에게 맡겨진 신의 경이로운 창조물을 보았습니다. „고요함은 더 깊은 인간다움을 향한 초대입니다.“

The castle, originally built around 1343, was destroyed by the French around 1686 during the War of the Palatine Succession. The current castle was rebuilt on the same site around 1760. It has been privately owned by the Barons von Boeselager since 1820 and has not been open to the public since then.
