Bunte Kuh, Rock projection in Walporzheim, Germany
The Bunte Kuh is a 15-meter rock formation that protrudes from a steep cliff face along the Ahr Valley near Walporzheim.
The rock formation emerged during the 19th century road construction when workers created space for the current B267 federal highway through controlled explosions.
Local legends attribute the name to French soldiers who praised the Ahr wine with 'C'est bon de gout', which residents misinterpreted as 'Bunte Kuh'.
Steel anchors secure the rock formation, which requires regular monitoring due to continuous geological movements and potential rock slides.
The viewpoint above the rock formation provides views of the Ahr Valley, with access through the Red Wine hiking trail or Medical Cure path number 3.
