There are many cosy cafés and restaurants to relax in between explorations. A highlight is the town fortifications, one of the best preserved in Germany.

For outdoor activities, a visit to the Ahr valley is a good idea - here you can canoe, hike or cycle and enjoy the picturesque scenery. The best season for this is spring or autumn, when the weather is mild and nature is in its full glory.
