The circular cycle tour, which combines sections of the Ahr Cycle Path and the Eifel Heights Route, starts at the source of the Ahr in Blankenheim. In the middle of the historic town center, the Ahr has its source in the vaulted cellar of a half-timbered house. The route then takes you through the Upper Ahr Valley. Here, where the Ahr slowly picks up speed and grows steadily, it is wonderful to cycle along the Ahr cycle path and the disused railroad line.

After Ahrhütte, you change to the Eifel-Höhen-Route. As the name suggests, you now explore the varied landscape of the Eifel with its hills and panoramic views.

As you continue along the route, you will reach the Freilinger See lake. Take advantage of the open-air area for a short rest or to cool off in the lake.

The tranquil village of Mülheim, with its many half-timbered houses, is also on this route.
