Grape Path No. 5 - Once around Ehlingen

In a unique natural landscape – between vineyards and rocky gorges, hikers enjoy magnificent panoramic views and vistas.

The lower Ahr valley between Bad Neuenahr and Sinzig is wide, and the character of the landscape has a very special, unique touch. Grape Path No. 5 “Once around Ehlingen” invites you to a relaxed, short round through vineyards and field paths with magnificent views. The start is in Ehlingen. From here, signs with dark red grapes point the way up to the vineyard site Ehlinger Kapellenberg. On the left, a highlight awaits: at Ehlinger Ley you can gaze far into the Ahr valley. On the opposite Landskrone once stood a castle complex from the 13th century. Today, only the castle plateau and the “Maria-Hilf Chapel” can be seen. A seating area invites you to enjoy the panoramic view here.

The Grape Path leads uphill to the vintner’s cabin, which is open from spring to autumn. The path continues to the Balthasar-Schmickler shelter and then along the Grape Path to the right back towards Ehlingen.

Duration 1:10 h
Distance 3,9 km
Ascent 99 m
