Stone retaining wall of the former railway line

Highlight • Structure

If you ride here, you will be on the wonderful Ahrtal cycle path.
Characteristic features of the former railway line: information boards about the history of the Ahr Valley Railway, stone retaining walls with cozy niches that invite you to take a break, the former train station building in Müsch and a double signal line your path.
The route does not present any major difficulties. The caveat is that there are only a few catering establishments on the Ahrtal cycle path. You have to look for them. Not everyone has good opening hours.

It's nice that this retaining wall didn't fall victim to the demolition hammer 🍀.
Especially on hot days, it's easy to drive or sit in the shade and study the numerous information boards.

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.

Niedereher Bach Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge survived the flood in summer 2021. However, the ramp has been washed away on both sides, so you have to climb and the bridge is no longer barrier-free.
