October 18, 2024,Von Bonn an die Ahr und über die Grafschaft zurück nach Bonn

The weather is not as forecast. Nevertheless, we set off. First, we drive through Bonn and into the Rheinaue to the Rhine cycle path.

The mystical view of the misty Rhine valley holds us spellbound. The Siebengebirge only sporadically shows the dark peaks of Drachenfels and Petersberg through the changing fog. The Mehlem ferry seems to be riding on a …

October 25, 2024,Von Bonn über die Grafschaft zur Ahr und am Rhein zurück

Last Friday we went from Bonn along the Rhine to the Ahr and back via the Grafschaft. This Friday we cycled the tour the other way round. The only difference: this time we took Ahrweiler with us.

Which is better? We have no preference 🤷‍♂️! Both routes are great 😊.

June 27, 2025,Rhein und Ahr aufwärts nach Bad Neuenahr/Ahrweiler und über die Rheinhöhen zurück

Cloudy weather, but the temperature is good. Let's go for a bike ride. The view of the Siebengebirge, the tranquility of the Ahr River, and the orchards in the county continue to beckon us.

From our front door, we first head into the city and down to the Rhine.

May 1, 2022,Von Beuel nach Bad Neuenahr und durch den Kottenforst zurück

Used May 1st to explore the route to Bad Neuenahr. For the most part, this is passable. From Bad Bodendorf to Bad Neuenahr, the cycle path no longer exists in some places. As in many places, the Ahr simply washed it away. Here, however, it is easy to switch to the trails that have been created parallel to the new …

May 6, 2025,Von Ahrweiler durch den Kottenforst nach Bonn, am Rhein entlang zurück.

The route climbed steeply from the Ahr Valley. At the top, the route continued through orchards and fields toward Bonn.
Poppelsdorf and Bad Godesberg are truly worth seeing.
A longer stay here is worthwhile.
You should also allow an hour for the Peace Museum in Remagen.
Located directly on the bike path, it offers impressive views of the final days …
