Ready for some “Modern Walking”? Hiking is becoming more and more popular. It trains endurance and coordination and, when combined with a back-care program, can even prevent osteoporosis and keep your back fit. Who would have thought it – in mountain hiking, even going down hill is especially effective, because the muscles have to brake for the complete body. So, beginner or expert, fill up your backpack, pull on your hiking boots and set off into the delightful landscapes and fresh air, with valuable tips from the Steigenberger Hotels and Resorts.

“Put on your backpack and go!” From the hotel you can comfortably follow the Ahr river past the steep vineyards that make the valley Germany’s red wine paradise.

From the Basispark Ahr Rhein Eifel you come to the Eifel Mountains, one of Europe’s most densely wooded regions. Follow the Red Wine Trail for 35 kilometres of beautiful German vineyard country!

At the Maria Laach Volcanic Park you can look deep into the “Eyes of the Eifel”: round, smooth as glass, fascinatingly pretty: the Eifel maars are lakes inside volcanic craters. The nature reserves around the craters are rich in their variety of flora and fauna. Sometimes you will find a charming hamlet on the edge of the crater; and sometimes a famous highlight such as the Maria Laach Abbey. Malachite green woods, golden broom, scrubby red heath – a landscape that takes you far away from the workaday routine.

Ask at the desk of the Steigenberger Hotel Bad Neuenahr for more route suggestions and hiking maps. We will gladly pack a lunch for you to take on your trip.
