The castle's layout is rectangular. In addition to parts of the outer bailey and a gate – the so-called Gymnicher Porz – remnants of the defensive wall have also been preserved. Furthermore, on the south side of the complex stands an old gate tower (also called the Schellenturm), next to which are the ruins of the palace, which once housed a heated bishop's chamber. The first keep presumably stood on the pointed rocky outcrop in the northern corner. Extensive remains of the Romanesque castle chapel from the 12th century have been preserved to the north.

The Devil's Hole - an oval in the square rock - was created when the devil fell in love with a damsel, another version reports that the devil had fallen in love with the Ahrwein.

The Ahr River in Altenburg

Highlight • River

The Ahr valley, perfect for the road bike tour at any time. It doesn't matter whether it's up or down it's worth it, also suitable for groups (Belgian roundabout). Finally, I recommend the ascent via Dernau or at the other end, the ascent to Obliers / Lies to leave this beautiful valley.

Kreuzberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Here you have a beautiful view of the castle Kreuzberg, which would provide without any problem material for an exciting history soap. Including fierce family struggles over possession of the castle, fierce destruction by war to the story of a Hitler plot conspiracy, which failed because the detonator of a bomb in the unheated luggage part of an aircraft froze. In the end, the castle got into marriage by marriage to the family of Boeselager, who still owns it today and who still lives in it. This castle is the only inhabited in the whole Ahr valley. This in turn means: the view from the outside is all that you can see. Unless you intend to marry: then you can do this in the castle chapel at the foot of the castle.

Genussbahnhof Mayschoss

Highlight • Restaurant

The station Mayschoß becomes a pleasure station. For the new owner Thorsten Rech has breathed new life into Restaurant Bahnsteig 1 since May 1, 2013, and relies on home-style cooking and regional specialties. The small menu, which is always accompanied by fresh produce and meals, changes every month to seasonal accents.
