The Upper Gate of the town of Ahrweiler, dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, is part of the former town fortifications and stands on the western side of the wall. Locally, it is also known as the Gisem Gate, Gisem Gate, or Walporzheim Gate, after the nearby deserted village of Gesem.

The oldest part of Bürresheim Castle is the imposing keep, a 12th-century tower that clearly reflects the castle's defensive origins. Over time, the castle developed into a complex double complex, consisting of the so-called Cologne Castle and the Trier Castle, which underwent different construction and expansion phases. While the Cologne Castle formed the older part and primarily served economic purposes—leading to its eventual decline—the Trier Castle was transformed into a prestigious residential palace, which continues to shape the character of the entire complex to this day.

The Streckenhäuschen restaurant in Mertloch is highly recommended. In summer, you can sit on the terrace and enjoy views of the bike path, playground, and barbecue area.

Great route, very wooded and significantly less traffic than via Ahrweiler-Ramersbach.

The late Gothic castle was besieged, destroyed, and rebuilt several times over the course of its eventful history. The current complex consists of the upper castle with the 34-meter-high Golo Tower and the slightly lower outer castle. The castle is protected from the city by a large castle gate, and on the other side by the keep and a moat complex. The former moat is now a ring road spanned by a 20-meter-long Gothic stone bridge. The Genovevaburg Castle houses two exhibitions of the Eifel Museum: EifelTotal and the German Slate Mine.
