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 area, truly impressive.

The oldest part of Bürresheim Castle is the imposing keep, a 12th-century tower that clearly reflects the castle's defensive origins. Over time, the castle developed into a complex double complex, consisting of the so-called Cologne Castle and the Trier Castle, which underwent different construction and expansion phases. While the Cologne Castle formed the older part and primarily served economic purposes—leading to its eventual decline—the Trier Castle was transformed into a prestigious residential palace, which continues to shape the character of the entire complex to this day.

Always a great view 🤙

The castle belongs to the municipality of Sankt Johann in Rhineland-Palatinate and is located northwest of Mayen on a rocky outcrop at the confluence of the Nitzbach and Nette rivers. Along with Eltz Castle and Lissingen Castle, Bürresheim Castle is one of the few aristocratic residences in the Eifel region that was never conquered or destroyed, surviving unscathed both the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries and the social upheavals resulting from the French Revolution. Its history was largely shaped by its location on the border between the two ecclesiastical electorates of Cologne and Trier.

The West Gate at Johannisstraße 44 represents one of a total of four bakehouses that once existed in Heimersheim, each connected to the four city gates. After World War II, two of these bakehouses were demolished, but the West Gate and its bakery were rebuilt. This demonstrates not only the historical significance of the building but also the efforts to preserve cultural memories.
