Four of us with Anne and Eckhard on a 3-day wine tour with accommodation in Remagen-Kripp. We were last here in 2023 and are very excited about the construction progress on the Ahr. Yes, it's progressing - but the large construction machinery is still part of the scenery. Bad Neuenahr is a major construction site, but Ahrweiler's old town already …

Unfortunately, the cycle path through the Ahr Valley is not yet finished.
There is still a lot to do in Ahrweiler, too.

Due to the flood disaster in 2021, there is now a replacement route for the regular Ahr Valley cycle path. Since we have often been to the Ahr Valley, even before the flood, and love it, we went on a bike tour from Sinzig to Rech today. Many of the affected houses have already been renovated, but unfortunately some have …

The starting point was a free, spacious parking lot.👍 Due to the ongoing reconstruction work following the 2021 flood disaster, there is an alternative route. Unfortunately, we got lost a few times due to construction work and closures...😆🤭 But you can do better...😉 Nevertheless, the route is beautiful, especially when it runs along the Ahr River or when you can …

Impressive tour. The development of the Ahr valley is progressing. The route from Bad Neuenahr to Sinzig is easy to cycle, although the cycle path was relocated by the flood. There is a lot to see and the vineyards are definitely worth seeing. From there you can enjoy a very beautiful view.

Hello everyone,
I did this tour on Monday, July 8th, 2024. It was supposed to be an "exploratory tour" to find out whether you can cycle through the Ahr Valley again from Ahrbrück (final stop by train). But it turned out to be much more for me than just an "exploratory tour". I don't want to give everything away, just …

Very nice tour but also very touching..So much was destroyed by the flood in 2021 but now the reconstruction is well underway but it is frightening what power the water can have...Despite everything, a very beautiful area..The cycle paths in Bad Neuenahr/Ahrweiler have been very visibly diverted and many emergency bridges have been built..The city center is worth seeing...The ride …
