Also, take some snacks and water for traveling, wear comfortable shoes, and check for weather conditions before making any plans.
If you have less time, consider reducing the activities per day, or skipping some places (consider Ahr valley first). Keep in mind the opening and closing times. Please verify all information before finalizing your itinerary.
