Hiking

Below the Are Castle are the remains of the Gymnicher Porz, where Porz stands for gate. It was a lower gate system on the approach to the castle, which sealed off the castle hill in connection with a wall. The complex consisted of a gatehouse over the access road, an attached castle house with a basement and two floors with living rooms and an adjoining castle tower.
