Hofgarten Dernau

Highlight • Restaurant

The stylish restaurant with a picturesque green courtyard garden, where I often stopped by, offers specialties from the Ahr Valley with regional wines, absolutely to be recommended! After the bad months with floods, it has now reopened.

Krausberg Tower

Highlight • Monument

The view from the tower is fantastic. If you are coming from Dernau or Walporzheim, the descent to Rech is recommended. From there the train runs every hour back to the starting point.

View of the Ahr Valley vineyards and village

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

In fact, the Ahr valley has a lot in common with Tuscany. This starts with the sometimes steep hills, goes over idyllic small villages and extends to the busy viticulture, which is operated here as in Italy. But what clearly speaks for the Ahr Valley is the fact that you have to drive a lot less to get there!
