Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At a length of about 1km the red wine trail becomes a mountain trail through rock and forest. One of the most beautiful sections of the red wine trail.

At 11 a.m. the wine stands along the red wine hiking trail open and who was there at 11 a.m.? Us!😀

The 11th hour was at one of the best wineries, the Wild Ahr with a view of Rech.

There were 10 more wine stands ahead of us until we got to Dernau, but since we wanted to go to …

And bang, we're back in the Ahr Valley!🥾☀️🍷🍇
For us, the proximity (2 hours drive) and the incredibly beautiful nature and landscape make it a hiking paradise.

We took well-known paths from Rech to Marienthal Monastery and back in warm weather, although komoot didn't record the first part.

The wine spring on the Mittelahr welcomed us with perfect weather on the last weekend of May. From Rech we went on the red wine trail 🥾🍷 through the vineyards to the Marienthal monastery.

The path was lined with umpteen wine stalls (which were still closed today, Friday) and even more dixis, because what comes in needs to come out …

This hike was a good idea because we stopped in Remagen on the way to Trier. Enjoying delicious wine once again on the Red Wine Trail, leisurely strolling from stall to stall, and meeting nice people along the way 😋
On Saturday, we continue to Trier, where the next stage of the Way of St. James begins...all the way to …

Today we drove to Grafschaft-Gelsdorf by car and then took the shuttle bus to Mayschoss. From there we hiked through the vineyards via Rech to Dernau. On the way there were enough stations where you could discover yourself with food, wine, champagne or Federweißer. Very, very tasty.😋 We can only recommend going there and supporting the winemakers.
