Circular route Bad Neuenahr no. 8 - From Gimmingen to Landskrone

From the hiking parking lot by the small church "St. Cosmas, St. Damian and St. Katharina" in the center of the town of Gimmingen, the route initially crosses the Leimersdorfer Bach to the forest and then continues along a narrow meadow path at the forest edge. The path then goes through pastures, fields, and woodland areas, past fruit trees and weathered garden gates towards Kirchdauen, and then through a small forest area to Landskronerhof. Behind Landskronerhof, the path continues along the forest edge to the Golf and Country Club Bad Neuenahr.

After the golf course, it first crosses wide fields and then descends into the forest towards Lohrsdorf. Further on through the vineyards of the "Heimersheimer Landskrone" and along the Red Wine Hiking Trail, the path leads to the Landskrone castle ruins. After the ascent, the Landskrone rewards hikers with an excellent panoramic view of the Ahr valley. From the castle grounds, the path leads back down to the starting point in Gimmingen.

A detailed route description with tips on places to eat, beautiful viewpoints, and elevation profiles can be found in the hiking book: "Around Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler. The 15 most beautiful hiking trails" from J.P. Bachem Verlag (ISBN 978-3-7616-2844-7).
