Section of the Roman Canal

Highlight • Monument

Hard to believe: the Roman aqueduct, which used to be a good 95 kilometers long, supplied Roman Cologne with 20 million liters of fresh water every day. Here you can still admire some relics of this masterful building.

A beautiful hike through the autumnal Rheinbach forest with its many lakes. We were out with dear friends and truly enjoyed the day. Along the way, we met another hiking group who immediately invited us to share their delicious cake. Perfect! There were many highlights on the hike, and a delicious dinner at the Rheinbacher Brauhaus rounded off this successful …

I read in the General-Anzeiger newspaper that the hiking trails in the Rhineland Nature Park can be done without a navigation system or a map. I wanted to try it out near my hometown. It didn't always work. I had to resort to the navigation system twice.

This time we did the hike in reverse with the Eifelverein Ahrweiler.

A simply beautiful hike. The common toads greeted us loudly and delighted the other hikers.

From Wednesday to Sunday, we experienced a thriving natural environment.

A hike for the heart and soul. Pure peace, as we were often alone with the group.

Enjoy the hike.

Pre-hike for the Eifel Club
First the annoying thing: Komoot stopped recording and didn't save many photos. That's why I imported the planning as a route and a lot of great photos are missing.
After starting at the car park at Rheinbach Castle with the witch tower in the middle of the town of Rheinbach, past the remains of Roman …
