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 …

September 6, 2026,Wanderparadies Sahrbachtal ab Altenahr - Ahrtal 🍇🌳🇩🇪

Today I was out with three lovely hiking friends in the beautiful Ahr Valley with glorious weather 😄🌞🍇🌳

We parked in the car park right next to the train station. The day ticket costs 5 Euros. Initially, the path was supposed to lead us over a bridge, but unfortunately, it is no longer there. So we walked over the railway …

January 18, 2026,Wanderparadies Sahrbachtal - Nebel, Sonne und großartige Ausblicke

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 …

October 22, 2023,Wandersinfonie Sahrbachtal mit dem Weggefährten

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 …

April 24, 2026,Rundweg Sahrbachtal - Ahrtal - Sahrbachtal

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.

July 17, 2022,Sahrtalweg von Kreuzberg aus

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.
