December 30, 2021,211230 Aremberg - Runde durch das NSG Westliches Ahrgebiet und Eichenbach

We spend the turn of the year in the Rhineland and the surrounding area - with hikes. The first takes us to Rhineland Palatinate in the Ahrweiler district, more precisely to Aremberg. The small village is located directly below the Aremberg and was once part of an important rule of the high nobility - the Aremberg, of course. There is …

July 17, 2025,Eifel Schleifen in Aremberg (2025-14)

A challenging hike through the Eifel region between Lommersdorf, Eichenbach, and Aremberg. A steep climb to the highest peak in the area offers stunning views over the Ahr Valley. Large roe deer, small roe deer, a common warbler for the first time, and once again, an exceptional number of butterflies. A wonderful walk!

Walter split the Fürstin-Margareta-Weg in the Ahr Mountains, which is actually 29 km long, into two laps so that we could run the laps. At 29 degrees it was already stressful. Very nice route. Unfortunately, the Landgasthaus Pfahl was only open from 5 p.m. (during the week). Very beautiful views of the Eifel. The other part will follow soon.
