Mountain trail at the Teufelsloch

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

If you like narrow, stony paths with beautiful views, you will love the route to and from the Teufelsloch.
Tip: only hike there in dry weather, in wet weather the loose slate rubble could be slippery.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path to the unsecured viewpoint requires a certain level of sure-footedness and is not part of a hiking trail.

But it offers a fantastic view of the Ahr Valley and Are Castle!

October 5, 2024,Rundweg ab Dernau: Kombi aus Rotweinwanderweg und Ahrsteig

The scenery is very beautiful, but anyone looking for peace and quiet should avoid the first section from Dernau to Altenahr. After Altenahr, the circular route 1 still seems impassable. But we continued on to Laach and back to Dernau via the Ahrsteig.

September 19, 2025,🇩🇪 Ahrdal, van Mayschoss naar Altenahr deel 2

The exceptionally beautiful Ahr Valley, located in the Eifel region, was severely affected by devastating flooding in July 2021 during a prolonged period of heavy rain.
The disaster killed 134 (!) people and caused extensive damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and railway lines. Local and regional authorities and many volunteers have worked hard on reconstruction in recent years. However, …

I started in the morning in Kreuzberg, pretty much straight up a short but steep path towards Altenburg, then along the Ahr, up to Are Castle. On the way there, as from the castle, you can still see the terrible consequences of the flood.
From the imposing castle ruins we continued past vineyards with a view of Mayschuss, sometimes with …

We were on the Ahr again in great hiking weather. We parked at the top of a hiking parking lot on a very narrow, steep street 🙈 but you can also easily park down in Rech and start from there. Landscape was very varied.
Sometimes very narrow forest paths, then again wide vineyard paths.
I can recommend the tour but …
