Tips from the Community
To the hikers / walkers taking this trail with the beautiful name "Brotpfad" (Bread Path), I would like to offer the "most beautiful memories" of the Austrian writer and poet Peter ROSEGGER (also known as P. K. Rosegger, born 1843, died 1918) for edifying contemplation, because his words can – even more than a century after his death – still be relevant: "I have made many journeys in my life and the most beautiful memories I have are from walking trips. All the landscapes and other things that I have passed by are almost forgotten, only the regions and people to whom my feet have led me, I still have as property in my head."

For all those who not only want to hike the well-known banks of the Ahr with its vineyards, but also to explore the forest paths of the still very young Ahr near Blankenheim, I would like to give you a poem by the writer O. W. Ullmann to take with you on your way: „Hiking, that means carrying a longing for the sun and for sunny heights for the mountains that tower into the clouds, for the murmuring springs and the still lakes, for the trees that reach into the blue sky, for the fields that ripen for harvest, for the chirping of crickets, for the call of the finches: Hiking, that means carrying a longing.“

"The source of the Nonnenbach stream lies in the forest about 2 km east of Schmidtheim, beyond the B 51 highway and not far from gravel pits that are already partially filled with groundwater. It flows past the village of the same name and flows into the Ahr a good 2 km south of Blankenheim. In addition to the Seidenbach and Günzelbach streams, it is also fed by numerous placers along its short course. ..." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenbach_(Ahr)

"The Ahr River rises in the cellar vaults of a half-timbered house dating back to 1726, located in the center of Blankenheim at an altitude of 474 meters. The Ahr spring has made Blankenheim, in the Eifel region of North Rhine-Westphalia, famous far beyond the state's borders. There, the Ahr then flows through the Schwanenweiher pond below Blankenheim Castle. It shapes much of the landscape in the municipality of Blankenheim and from here winds its way through the romantic Ahr Valley until it flows into the Rhine near Sinzig after almost 90 km." https://www.ahrtal.com/de/pois/ahrquelle/poi.html
