Ahr Valley
The Ahr valley (, ) is named after the Ahr, a left tributary of the Rhine in Germany. It begins at the Ahr spring (''Ahrquelle'') in Blankenheim (Ahr), Blankenheim in the county of Kreis Euskirchen, Euskirchen (North Rhine-Westphalia) and runs generally eastwards. At its southernmost point it enters the county of Kreis Ahrweiler, Ahrweiler, and hence the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Running through the collective municipality of Adenau the valley bends northeast at its confluence with the Adenauer Bach and reaches the collective municipality of Altenahr, from where it resumes its characteristic west to east course, albeit interrupted by meanders. Here begins the section that is known as the Ahr valley (''Ahrtal'') in a touristic sense.

In the next stage the Ahr reaches the area of the county town of Bad Neuenah ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
