Along the "Barbarossa Loop" hikers can convince themselves of the attractiveness of the landscape around the Barbarossa town of Sinzig and its districts on two circular routes. The blue loop offers a route with an attractive mix of village centres, wide panoramic views, cool forest but also open fields over a varied profile for a length of 18 km. After the path leads out of Sinzig along the Ahr, it first goes along idyllic half-timbered houses in the district of Bad Bodendorf to the nostalgic Bad Bodendorf thermal outdoor pool (currently closed!). Continuing over the Mühlenberg with extensive distant views along the panorama trail, you reach the rose village Löhndorf. Across open fields, past equestrian farms, the path leads to the highest point of Sinzig before going via the Kreuzweg to Westum. The Barbarossa Loop then leads back to the town centre of Sinzig via the newly created multi-generation square. Ambitious hikers can also connect both routes to form one loop.
Author’s recommendation
Due to the effects of the flood disaster of 15 July 2021, the route in the area of the Ahr was slightly changed. Therefore, the depicted route deviates from the marking on site in this area.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
