A beautiful chapel with a bench for rest

"John of Nepomuk or John of Pomuk (Latin: Joannes de Pomuk, Czech: Jan Nepomucký or Jan z Pomuka, * c. 1350 in Pomuk near Pilsen; † March 20, 1393 in Prague) was a Bohemian priest and martyr. He was canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1729 and is considered the "bridge saint" and patron of the seal of confession. Along with crosses and depictions of the Virgin Mary, sculptures of Saint Nepomuk are the most commonly found Christian stone figures outside of church buildings in the open countryside in Catholic areas of southern Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, and Austria. Statues of the saint are often found on or next to bridges. The most famous of these, created by Johann Brokoff in 1683, is located on Prague's Charles Bridge at the spot where the saint was thrown into the Vltava River. " https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Nepomuk "... John of Nepomuk lived from about 1350 to 1393. He died as punishment by being thrown from the Charles Bridge into the Vltava River and drowned. As a bridge saint, his statue stands on many bridges in Europe. ..." 👉 Life and work of John of Nepomuk and further information: https://www.erzbistum-koeln.de/presse_und_medien/magazin/Johannes-Nepomuk-der-Brueckenheilige

Well paved segment, with places to park your car in the shade of you would like to start cycling from here.

Neublankenheim Castle, located on the edge of the Ahbach Valley, has a varied history spanning over 700 years. First mentioned in 1272, the castle passed into the possession of the Counts of Manderscheid after the Blankenheim family died out. As early as the 16th century, the castle complex began to decay until it was acquired by the Duke of Aremberg in 1769. Today, the ruins, which were extensively renovated in 2005 and 2006 and thus saved from complete decay, belong to the Vulkaneifel district.

This connection between the two sides of the river is passable again. The major storm disaster of June 2021, which, among other things, severely devastated the Ahr Valley (and also cost human lives here), is still visible even after three and a half years.

A real gem awaits hikers and walkers along the Ahr: the chapel dedicated to Saint Hubertus - known above all as the patron saint of hunters - cannot be entered by visitors, but the openings to the right and left of the door, protected by sturdy grilles, offer a glimpse that should not be missed! The central ceiling fresco depicts the Lamb of God from the Apocalypse, lying on the book with the seven seals that John describes in his "Revelation" (the last book of the New Testament).

After the outdoor pool closed, the Weiherpark in the North Rhine-Westphalian municipality was left to its own devices – a barely used and inaccessible brownfield site with dilapidated structures emerged near the town center. A park is now being created at the confluence of the Ahr and Giesenbach rivers that blends into the landscape and connects Blankenheim with the surrounding nature. The vision: a spacious, species-rich valley landscape in the immediate vicinity of the town center. The Weiherpark has been rebuilt and redesigned over decades. After the swimming pool closed in 2015, large parts of it remained unused; only the Swan Pond in the center of the park remained accessible. The ideas and wishes of the residents were incorporated into the redevelopment plans. Existing and unused facilities will be demolished and landscaped; The subsequently remodeled terrain will connect to the neighboring valleys, bringing nature directly into the town. The renaturalized Weiherpark will be accessible and accessible for everyone. Thanks to the exposure of the Giesenbach stream, its confluence with the Ahr will become an integral part of the park, creating a connection to the Ahr source in the nearby historic town center.
