It goes steeply uphill to the Arenberg Castle and Palace Ruins – at 623 meters the highest point of the entire AhrSteig. Over steep forest paths, you reach Eichenbach. Through the Eichenbach forest and after crossing the Ahr, a brisk ascent follows over hidden paths to spectacular rock passages and along rugged sandstone walls to Schuld. A detour to the Schorn chapel and to the open-air stage is worthwhile.
