Highlights

  • Hiking along Germany's most famous river: Did you know that with 1,232 km, the Rhine is one of the busiest waterways in the world and is therefore a junction between the Mediterranean region and the north of Europe. While hiking you can enjoy countless great views of the imposing river.
  • Vineyards, Rhine Riesling & rustic wine bars: Around 80% of the vines in the region produce Riesling grapes. Reason enough to try a drop or two. But also red wine lovers get their money's worth with a Pinot Noir. By the way, you can find out a lot of interesting facts about grapes on the Loreley wine trail!
  • Idyllic villages with half-timbered houses: Numerous small towns along the route offer a great counterpoint to the nature-based hikes. Enjoy the liveliness of the region and the sight of the characteristic architecture.
  • Imposing castles and palaces: A special attraction on the Rheinsteig is the “three-castle view” of Katz Castle, Maus Castle and the Rheinfels castle ruins. But that was by no means all, because over 40 castles, palaces and ruins await the hikers.
  • UNESCO World Heritage region: Man and river in a very special harmony - the Upper Middle Rhine Valley is one of the UNESCO World Heritage regions. Not least because of this, the area around the Rhine is always worth a visit!

    Highly recommend this trip. The days can be long but the views are worth it. Most of the route is paved so you can probably get away with hiking shoes or trail running shoes. There is luggage transfer available but I didn't need it. The route from Unken to Waidring could be updated but I was able to find an alternate route with the map. Before you start you're given the full itinerary with a navigation system on the app as well as paper copies of everything.

    Well organized, no hiccups, beautiful scenery, good exercise (!), great hotels. I've enjoyed the trip quite a lot, there's nothing much to add here, really. One minor thing is that there was a bus pickup location specified towards the end of one of the hikes, it would've been nice to get picked up given you're in unfamiliar territory rather than fumbling your way around and hoping you get on the right bus and go where you're supposed to.

    Hello, we are delighted with our trip, which enabled us to see some fabulous cities while enjoying our favorite activity, walking. The app that guided us was particularly efficient and gave us confidence. The organization was impeccable, and the hotels perfect. Until next time.
