View of the River Sieg

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the two rivers that give the municipal political construct of the "Rhein-Sieg-Kreis" its name. The Sieg, which can be easily crossed on a bridge here, continues to flow towards the Rhine until it reaches its mouth near Mondorf.

Great hiking trail in the Ahrenbach Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A rustic, narrow path. All sorts of flowers bloom here in spring. And you can learn a lot about the creek that powered six mills and was therefore very important to the region.

View of Blankenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Great facility, if all the benches are occupied you can also take a seat on the castle wall to take a break. It is very wide and you are out …

Half-timbered houses in Auel

Highlight • Settlement

Hamlet on the north bank of the Sieg below Blankenberg city. Beautifully renovated half-timbered houses and barns are worth a detour.

Trail above the Sieg

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful narrow path! However, only about 400 m, then wide dirt road again.
