Maps and trails
Rheinbach is characterised by its unique geographical location - nestled between rolling hills and surrounded by endless vineyards. This landscape not only offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside, but also numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. The summer months are particularly recommended.

But the city itself also has much to offer: Tourist attractions include Hertefeld Castle and the town fortifications from the Middle Ages. Regular concerts and exhibitions in the Rheinbach town museum provide cultural highlights.

In addition to these classic attractions, there are also culinary specialities to discover: The region is known for its delicious wines and local specialities such as asparagus dishes or regional beers.

And what to do if the weather is bad? Don't worry - even then there are plenty of activities! For example, you can retreat to the Ahr thermal baths or visit one of the many cosy cafés.

But where is it most beautiful? That, of course, depends entirely on what kind of experience you are looking for. But regardless of whether you want to enjoy nature or discover cultural highlights: Rheinbach is definitely worth a trip. A travel guide for all those who are looking for something special!

    Eine sehr schöne Runde etwas abseits der Hauptwege. Geparkt habe ich am Parkplatz Waldkapelle und bin die Tour entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn gegangen. An einer Stelle, zwischen den GPX Wegpunkten 147 (N50° 35.365 / E6° 57.387) und 137 (N50° 35.373 / E6° 57.580), führt der Track allerdings quer durch den Wald. Da ist beim besten Willen und aller Fantasie kein Weg zu erkennen. Auch auf meiner Karte wird da im Basecamp kein Weg angezeigt. Ich bin dann über die Wege süd-/östlich ausgewichen. Das sollte man vielleicht noch korrigieren. Mit der Besichtigung der Ruine und dem kleinen Umweg hatte ich am Ende knapp 17,4 km auf der Uhr. Ansonsten danke für die wirklich tolle Runde. Klare Weiterempfehlung.

    Bin die Tour Anfang März 26 mit einem guten Hardtail gefahren bei 15 Grad und überwiegend trockenem Boden. Ist eine tolle Runde, ruhig ohne Tam Tam. Im ersten Abschnitt Vischelbachtal und am Martinsteig muss man schon über einiges an Erde, Steinen und Stöcken; Man sollte schon ein wenig Erfahrung mitbringen, daher ist die Einordnung "Mittel" passend. Es war wenig los, was sicher auch an der Jahreszeit lag.

    Sehr schöne Route, abwechslungsreich und gut geführt. Anreise mit DB ( Montags) gut möglich. Schöne Ausblicke dadurch das es etwas über die Höhen geht ! Empfehlenswert!

    Besonders die Pfadabschnitt in der ersten Hälfte haben uns richtig gut gefallen! Das Naturfreundehaus mit den Hängematten im Wald war ebenfalls ein kleines Highlight. Absolut empfehlenswert!

    Nonostante mi sia capitata una giornata semi autunnale, pioggia da Koenigswinter a Kreuzberg, fitta, continua, battente, poi 2 ore di break e ti pioggerellina ultimi 5 km, la Renania Palatinato è l'Ahrnthal valgonola pena del viaggio. Boschi di latifoglie, abbastanza naturali, abeti rossi, ripiantumazioni massive, ma tutto molto bello. 🙂

    Eine trotz 34 Kilometern gut zu gehende Runde, zumindest wenn der Untergrund nicht matschig ist. Man genießt schöne Aussichten aufs Siebengebirge, hat mit Tomburg und Dächelsberg schöne Abstecher und marschiert durch Wald und über freie Flächen. Der Rolandsbogen am Rodderberg ist ein schönes Ziel als Einkehr am Ende der Wanderung.
