Altenahr

Built around a tight bend of the Ahr beneath the medieval Are Castle, Altenahr grew into a small wine-growing settlement in Rhineland-Palatinate’s narrow Ahr Valley. The castle ruins stand on a rocky spur above the town, while steep vineyard slopes descend towards the river. Altenahr lies in the Ahr wine region, widely associated with red wines from Spätburgunder, the German name for Pinot Noir. The Rotweinwanderweg follows the valley’s vineyards and passes through the area, connecting walking routes with wine estates and local hospitality. The devastating floods of 2021 also form an important part of the valley’s recent history. Find related live views in the surrounding Ahr Valley to build a fuller picture of this wine region.
