Walking in the Ahr valley is great. I went there back in May, and will be making a 2nd trip this September. The Red Wine trail from Altenahr. Is a little steep to begin with, but on fairly good track. It then flattens out for quiet away, before the downwards bit. But like i said, all on pretty good tracks. I would suggest walking boots, but not essential for this trek. I would however recommend that water proofs, and a hat be taken, along with sun block, It is a very enjoyable walk, and it is really quite liesurely.
