If, as is often the case, the viewing point on the church grounds is closed, you have a perfect view from here, towards: Siebengebirge, Stuxberg & Erpeler Ley.

Beautiful vantage point above the Apollinari church, which can be reached via numerous steps.
The view of the Rhine Valley and the Apollinariskirche reward the little effort.

Five out of five stars.
Beautiful tour with lots of forest and some fields as well as great views. Moderate and few climbs. Danger of mud after heavy rain.

Lots of forest and muddy after rain, very few places to sit (only 3), hardly any viewpoints, poor signage and at the end a lot of asphalt.

Beautiful tour from the Appolinariskirche in Remagen between the Rhine and Ahr. It was a wonderful display of colors with the bright green and bright yellow of the rapeseed.
