Bad Neuenahr – Discover traditional wine-growing estates

We discover some interesting facts about the residence on a guided tour and stroll past rows of small shops in the quaint historic centre. We stimulate our body and mind on the nature learning trail. We follow the red wine trail along the Ahr through vineyard terraces packed with juicy grapes and watch the winegrowers at work. Will this year's harvest be a success?
