Gigantic retaining wall built from quarry stone. Above Dernau/Ahr there is a similar retaining wall in the vineyards.

The castle was a border castle at the time and still is today, albeit as a ruin. For its history, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Neublankenheim. The legend surrounding the castle is tragic. The count's daughter fell in love outside of her social class and was consequently locked in a tower. In the end, she starved to death in her prison. Violence against women has a long tradition...

Really cool trail. A bit tricky, as it's very narrow in places. Be careful with the pedals, and on one side it's steeply downhill.
