From the bench at the edge of the forest you have a great panoramic view to the Siebengebirge.

May 19, 2024,Sahrbachweg und Gipfelpfad ab Altenahr
The Sahrbachweg in the Ahr Valley has been on our list for a long time. This approximately 8 km long path from Kreuzberg to Kirchsahr leads along narrow paths from the mouth of the Ahr against the flow to the village of Kirchsahr, hiking around half of the stream. The path alone was too short for us, so we extended …

I started my hike at Altenahr train station, where the parking lot is also located. Parking costs €5, and the proceeds continue to be used for reconstruction efforts following the flood.

At the beginning, the Sahrbach Valley was shrouded in thick fog, giving the landscape a very special, almost mystical atmosphere. Since sunshine was forecast for around noon, I deliberately …

With my “companion” Michael Schulze (weggefaehrunge.com/) I was in the Sahrbachtal and the Vischelbachtal, two side valleys of the Ahrtal. The weather wasn't so great that you had great visibility, but at least there was only so little drizzle that you could leave the rain poncho in your backpack.
In Kreuzberg you can still see the damage from the flood …

After training diligently all week, we were able to extend our km performance a bit today and tackle the big Sahrbachtal loop.
The Sahrbachweg is a beautiful path that runs almost exclusively along the edge of the forest from Kirchsahr to Kreuzberg.
Upon reaching the Ahr, we took a break and watched the sparkling water. After that, it got strenuous, …

The tour as a video:

On July 20th, 2024 we once again made a detour to the Ahr Valley, where this time we were met again in Altenahr and explored a piece of new territory with the Sahrbachweg. Of course we couldn't ignore the obligatory hotspots (Are Castle and Teufelsloch), so we included them in the tour.

Absolutely recommendable round with a wonderful ridge path at the end of the tour 🤩🤩

We chose the Sahrtalweg today. A nice, shady path.
Afterwards we went back via Heinrich-Kippel Weg. This leads partly over beautiful meadows, but also has partly overgrown sections.

A hike with an old friend took us through a beautiful natural area starting in Altenahr. The route started on asphalt, continued on asphalt towards the end, and included many lovely paths in between. Concentration was key for the ascents and descents, as the drops were quite steep. The singletrack sections were also very interesting. We made it through everything …
