Three River Tour
Cycle though the valleys of Erft, Rhein, and Ahr
Enjoy a cycle tour along three rivers which could not be more varied.
Take a deep breath while you cycle along the Rhine and experience the hustle and bustle of the big cities Cologne and Bonn. While going downstream, you have a great view of the “Siebengebirge” before you reach the peaceful areas in the Ahr valley.
Sources, Castles, and Romans
The "Valley of Red Wine" is known for its wine festivals and taverns. The source of the Ahr in the historic Eifel town of Blankenheim and its impressive attractions tell about medieval history in the area. Next, you can look forward to seeing the source of the Erft only 10km away, in Nettersheim- Holzmülheim. You cycle past stoney witnesses of the Roman period, defensive town fortifications, mighty castles from the age of chivalry, and magnificent castles from the glory days of Rhine nobility. You will witness a histori-cal, and at the same time moving industrial past, which has shaped the landscape. Gi-gantic mining areas show the industrial present period of the area.
