Tips from the Community
Fast ferry, ideal for crossing. It runs continuously, back and forth. Weekdays 5:15 a.m. – midnight, weekends from 6:00 a.m. Cost: €1.80, payment by card/NFC accepted. I actually wanted to take the Nixe ferry in Erpel-Remagen. It only runs every 30 minutes, so I ended up driving the extra 4 km here :-).

The Chapel of St. John the Baptist was built between 1708 and 1712 by Ferdinand Friedrich Gamans, a canon from Cologne, and Johann Hellings, the bailiff and steward of the Arenfels estate. In a school document for the widow Gamans, a number of Arendorf citizens attest that they received 100 Reichsthaler and "actively used it for the construction of their newly built chapel." The oil painting is a gift (1825) from Ludwig von Lorch to the chapel in Arendorf. In 1980, the chapel was renovated as part of a redesign of the village square. A further extensive renovation of the chapel and a redesign of the chancel took place in 2008. The chancel contains the cross from the former branch church (built in 1957 and demolished in 2009). The modified altar table and the tabernacle also originate from the branch church.

Nicely laid out and with many terrace restaurants in a range of price ranges. When heading south, be careful of the pavement at the end of the ramp.

The small gauge tower, located northwest of the village of Ariendorf on a strip of shore directly adjacent to Federal Highway 42, is one of the few technical monuments to Rhine navigation and water level measurement in the Middle Rhine region. It was built in 1900 as part of a newly structured gauge measurement system, along with a whole series of similar towers, according to plans by the Koblenz Waterways Inspectorate, as evidenced by the keystone above the entrance. The gauge was a so-called recording gauge, which continuously recorded the water level.
