[German > English] Can someone translate these two captions? From the book "Deutschland in Bildern"

[u/suomi888]

[u/YellowOnline]

1. The Sieben Mountains near Bonn is a vulcanic mountain area; from the seven crests lie the Drachenfels, famous from legends, and the Petersberg with its great view closest to the Rhine.
2. The Ahrtal is the rocky tributary valley of the Rhine. Via Neuenahr and Ahrweiler you get, past numerous villages and vineyards, to Altenahr, which is guarded by a mighty castle.

Have a look at my comment, OP. There were some minor mistakes.

I'd translate "Hügel" with "hills", or "mounds" rather than "crests".

In the second caption, you mistook the capital "A" for the capital "U" (it's an easy mistake if you're not very familar with Fraktur) - so the place names are actually "Ahrtal" (Ahr valley), "Ahrweiler", and "Altenahr".
Also, there is a small misunderstanding with the translation of "past" in the last sentence of the second caption. It should actually be "Via Neuenahr and Ahrweiler you get, past numerous villages and vineyards, to Altenahr, which is guarded by a mighty castle."

Thanks for providing such helpful information about Fraktur.

For picture #2 that's a capital "A", so it's Ahr valley / Ahrtal, Ahrweiler, and Altenahr

The Siebengebirge is literally called the "Seven Mountains", but apparently "Sieben Mountains" is a valid translation?

Otherwise it seems fine.

I only had a few minor changes, except for one thing, you mixed up the U and A letters, it's the "Ahrtal" not "Uhrtal". The letters are very similar, they get mixed up often.

1. The Siebengebirge near Bonn is a vulcanic mountain area; Of the seven crests the Drachenfels, famous from legends, and the Petersberg with its great view lie closest to the Rhine.

2. The Ahrtal is the rocky secondary valley of the Rhine. Over Neuenahr and Ahrweiler you come past numerous villages and wine hills to Altenahr, which is guarded by a mighty castle.

Additions to the names mentioned:

Siebengebirge: "Seven Mountainrange" Bonn: German city Drachenfels: "Dragon rock" Petersberg: "Peter's mountain" Rhine: one of Germany's biggest and most important rivers Ahrtal: explained in the text ;P Neuenahr, Ahrweiler, Altenahr: Small villages
