Welcome to hiking autumn!

The most beautiful hiking season in the Ahr Valley begins when the landscape is clad in its bright colours in autumn, the air becomes clearer and fresher and the wine villages along the Ahr entice visitors with their convivial wine festivals. But it's not just the paths through the vineyards that offer pure hiking pleasure. The colourful forests, magnificent views and green meadows also make hiking along the AhrSteig, on the Eifel heights and along the Upper Ahr an experience.
