    The varied route over the Sinzig Heights offers a variety of landscapes. The route leads over open terrain with impressive panoramic views but also through dense forest and along the river landscape of the Ahr.

    At the beginning the path leads past the town center via a section of the Rhine Castle Trail through forest area up to the "Ziemert" and to the Mönchsheide glider airfield. In the district of Franken, the St. Michael parish church with its magnificent ceiling paintings is worth a visit. Over the vast fields of the Krechelheim wasteland, you reach the rose village of Löhndorf. Over the Mühlenberg you reach the viewpoint Ehlinger Ley, which welcomes hikers with an impressive view of the Landskrone and into the Ahr valley. The return to Sinzig follows the idyllic flow of the Ahr.

    The nearby Kirchplatz and the town center of Sinzig invite you to linger after the strenuous hike. Dining options are available at larger intervals along the hiking trail.

    Author’s recommendation

    Help yourself to a sip of cool drinking water from the tap in the foyer of St. Michael parish church in Franken.

    Roadbook

    The path is not continuously marked. Follow the route on the map or the following description:

    Starting point: Sinzig Castle

    Initially follow the green Barbarossa loop marking for 8 km to the St. Michael parish church in the Franken district (via Kirchplatz, Lunapark, Helenbergstraße, onto the "Ziemert" to the Mönchsheide estate, glider airfield, Franken).

    At St. Michael parish church continue along Frankenstraße and turn right at the first opportunity. Follow the "Old Löhndorf Way" straight ahead for 2 km. Cross the L82 and later the L86.

    From the former "Beulerhof" guesthouse take the blue Barbarossa loop marking for 3 km to Löhndorf.

    From Löhndorf sports field follow the AhrSteig approach marking to the Mühlenberg. At the panoramic bench turn left onto the AhrSteig. Follow the AS along Schmicklerhütte, Winzerhäuschen and Ehlinger Ley for 2.5 km until just before the B266.

    Before the underpass of the federal road turn right and take the path to the Ahr riverside path. Due to the effects of the July 15, 2021 flood disaster, the Ahr riverside path is not passable to Sinzig. Please observe the alternative route on the map.
