Highlight • Cycleway

Quiet drive through beautiful countryside on good ground.

The Ahr bike path is beautiful to drive. The paths lead through the middle of nature and the surface is good, so your bike rolls almost by itself. On the way there are enough places to take a break and sit comfortably on a bench.

Kerpen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The exact origins of Kerpen Castle are shrouded in the mists of history. It is considered very likely that its builder was Sigibertus de Kerpene, first mentioned in documents in 1136, or his son Heinrich I (1142–1177). However, an exact construction date cannot yet be given.

Hillesheim City Wall

Highlight • Monument

The imposing, old city wall of the medieval town of Hillesheim dates from the 13th century and was very well renovated in the course of the city center renovation.

The fortification was first destroyed by the French in 1689, and then by the British Army in 1705.
So it took a few centuries until the present city wall with a few towers was repaired from the few remains of the city wall.

You can walk on the battlements and have a wonderful view over the Kylltal and the landscape.
