On this hiking tour, you will experience varied nature paired with half-timbered idylls and Eifel culture in Blankenheim. The approximately 16-kilometre circular hike around the Eifel town of Blankenheim starts with a little curiosity: The Ahr river has its source in the cellar of a half-timbered house dating back to 1726! The well room can be seen from the outside. From the source, the Ahr flows through Blankenheim via a brick-built canal below Blankenheim Castle and then runs through the romantic Ahr Valley. After 89 kilometers, it finally flows into the Rhine at Sinzig.
You hike along narrow paths through the Upper Ahr nature reserve and follow the still young Ahr. The soothing scent of the forest and wild herb meadows as well as the lapping of the water accompany you. If you are out and about early, you can enjoy a fantastic sunrise at the numerous viewing points on the tour. Part of the circular hike follows the AhrSteig, Eifelsteig and the historic bread trail. The bread trail used to be used to transport bread from surrounding villages to Blankenheim for sale.

Tip:
Experience the Eifel trail "Where the Ahr springs" with culinary delights - from 34.50 euros per person for two or more people (hiking bar on Thursdays and Sundays)
