The region is known for its excellent wines. Visit the numerous wineries and try the famous red wine from Ahr or the fruity Riesling. When it comes to culinary delights, be sure to try the local dish "Himmel un Ääd" (Heaven and Earth) - a mashed potato with apple sauce and fried black pudding.

County also has many tourist attractions to offer. The medieval Olbrück Castle towers majestically over the valley of the Ahr and offers a spectacular view of the surrounding area. The Nürburgring, a world-famous motor sports circuit, is also nearby.

Cultural highlights are also plentiful here: The Maria Laach Monastery is an impressive example of Romanesque architecture from the 11th century. In Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler you can stroll through the narrow streets or relax in the spa gardens.

When it comes to outdoor activities, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking or cycling through the idyllic countryside, as well as canoeing on the Ahr during the summer or skiing in winter at nearby resorts such as Hohe Acht or Nürburgring.

And even if it rains, there is plenty to do in Grafschaft. Visit the Documentation Centre Government Bunker and learn more about the Cold War or visit the caves of Mendig.

All in all, Grafschaft, Ahrweiler is a destination that is definitely worth a visit. Whether culinary delights, cultural highlights or outdoor activities - everyone will find something to their taste here. We hope this travel guide has helped you and we look forward to welcoming you soon!

    Schöner Rundweg mit manchen tollen Perspektiven und Ausblicken. An der alpinen Stelle am Rotweinwanderweg sollte man trotz Sicherungen wachsam sein. Wegen des kurzen und ziemlich steilen Aufstiegs zur Mathiaskapelle ist die Wandung nur in der vorgeschlagenen Richtung empfehlenswert, andersum wäre es wegen dieses Teilstückes problematisch. Abwechslungsreich, keinen Meter langweilig. Toll.

    Schöne einfache Tour für eine entspannte Wanderung. Es gibt viele Stellen, um eine Picknick-Pause einlegen zu können. Die Zeit- und Kilometerangaben haben gut gepasst. Punktabzug für den hohen Asphalt-Anteil. Die Angaben in der Wegebeschreibung dazu stimmen definitiv nicht. Abweichend von der eigentlichen Wegeführung parallel führende nicht asphaltierte/betonierte Wirtschaftswege gewählt, um die Füße zu schonen.

    Wir sind von Walprozheim Richtung Rech gestartet. Ein schöner Weg mitten durch die Weinberge. Man sieht immer noch die Schäden, die die Flut angerichtet hat, jedoch wurde schon sehr viel gemacht. Hochachtung! Der Weg von Rech rechts der Ahr entlang ist jedoch zerstört. Ein kleiner Trampelpfad verläuft durch Wildwuchs und Abbruch. Ihn konnten wir nach einiger Zeit nicht weiter gehen und sind durch die Ahr auf die andere Seite gewatet. Später wieder über eine Brücke auf die rechte Seite. Hier geht es oberhalb der Ahr auf einem schmalen Weg weiter. Es fällt steil bergab. Wer Höhenangst hat, dem klopft das Herz. 🙈😉 Zum Schluss mussten wir nochmal klettern, da der Weg durch den Bau einer neuen Brücke endete. Alles in allem dennoch ein sehr schöner Weg!
