The Ahr Hills[1] (German: Ahrgebirge [ˈaːɐ̯ɡəˌbɪʁɡə] or Ahreifel [ˈaːɐ̯ˌʔaɪfl̩]) are a range of low mountains and hills up to 623.8 m above sea level (NHN)[2] and 25 kilometres (16 mi) long in the Eifel region of Germany, which lie roughly southwest of Bonn on the border between the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate.

The forested Ahr Hills have numerous tourist destinations (e. g. Aremberg Castle and the Effelsberg Radio Telescope) and the section of a Roman road with its ancient Eifel Aqueduct.
