I know that the Ahr Valley was devastated by flooding last summer. Does anyone know if/which towns and trails are open to
Tourists? Have had a hard time finding anything on the internet. Thank you.

It sounds like there is still a lot of chaos and rebuilding going on. I wouldn't chance it.

Normal tourism will take time to return. There has been a series of recent stories about the ongoing reconstruction efforts with titles like, "Reconstruction still at the beginning" or such.
That said, the Tourist Association of Ahrtal has information about what sites are open here. It is only in German, but you can use deepl or google translate. Note that they also say you should contact each provider directly, so this list may be more of a place to start than a thing to 100% rely on.
