AhrSteig Stage 2: Freilinger See to Aremberg (11.7 km)

The second stage of the AhrSteig leads from the Freilinger See over quiet meadow trails and forest paths to the tranquil Aremberg. Enjoy the second stage of the AhrSteig!

Freilinger See - Freilingen - Hühnerberg - Lommersdorf Forest - Aremberg

Coming from Freilingen, we cross the L115 with the necessary caution. Behind it, left, then right and uphill in a leisurely ascent to the Hühnerberg, which is already recognizable from afar by the large cross. From above, the view sweeps across a magnificent all-around panorama. After a relaxing rest, we hike across the wide high plain through the field area Am Gericht.

Soon, however, the path dips into the forest and now leads for a long stretch along the route of an old Roman road through a restorative forest landscape between Lommersdorf and Aremberg. After we have crossed the connecting road between the two places, it goes a bit downhill, then left uphill, finally on a quiet path through the woods. On a well-maintained forest path, we reach the Aremberg area. At the very beginning, old stations of the cross and the Guardian Angel Chapel welcome us. The view opens to the south; before our eyes unfolds a panorama with Nürburg and Hohe Acht.

Line 899 RadWanderBus Upper Ahr Valley (RVK) valid from 01.08.2024 – 31.10.2024 Blankenheim – Aremberg – Altenahr – Ahrweiler

From August 1, 2024, Line 899 will be partially extended to Ahrweiler and operates here as RadWanderBus.

Between Altenahr, Ahrbrück, Schuld, Müsch and Blankenheim, in the future from April to October a RadWanderBus (Line 899) runs along the Ahr Valley cycle path, where – preferably after online reservation – up to 20 bicycles can be transported on a separate trailer.

Transitionally, some RadBus rides - until the Ahr Valley Railway is reactivated on this section - also serve the places between Ahrbrück and Ahrweiler along the Middle Ahr.

Line 899 can thus be used as a feeder or return service for the Ahr cycle path towards Upper and Lower Ahr Valley. Additionally, other long-distance cycle routes such as the Vulkanradroute Eifel from Dümpelfeld towards Adenau/Nürburgring, the Kalkeifel cycle path from Ahrdorf towards Hillesheim, the Erfcycle path from Schuld towards Bad Münstereifel, or the Rhine cycle path from Sinzig from the Upper Ahr Valley are connected. Of course, the line can also be used by hikers to explore the AhrSteig or the Rotweinwanderweg.
