Drive to the Ahr Valley.... it's beautiful there despite everything, you can still do a lot... and the people there are happy to have guests!

A beautiful tour – partly still on a replacement route – but construction work is still underway. The route often runs along the Ahr River in a very idyllic setting. Benches are frequently found along the trail.

It's possible to take a tour by bus and have your bikes transported on the trailer.

May 6, 2025: Partially replaced bike paths due to new road and bridge construction. Occasional detours onto roads are necessary. Nevertheless, a very beautiful route with plenty of rest and picnic areas.
