July 14, 2023,Rhein 🥾🥾 "Langhalsweg Osterspai & Kirschenpfad Filsen"

Today was the feasibility study for the planned day hike of the Open Hiking Circle in August. 🚶‍♀️👨‍🦯👩‍🦯
We came to the unanimous conclusion that it can be done.
I can particularly recommend the coffee and nut corner in the village shop. However, that will not be possible on said Tuesday afternoon. 😅
But guaranteed a lot to discover....🤩
For …

Although I was here for the third time today, where the Rhine flows from west to east, there was no boredom.
We had a lot of fun with our small group, broke out in a sweat every now and then 😅 and were able to collect great impressions as a reward. 🤩
Osterspai and the Langhalsweg are definitely worth more …

Tour stolen from @Manuela 📸 (thanks for the great template 😉). What can I say, with the weather today it was a really nice walk, the Kirschweg Filsen with the best views, the most amazing forest hiking trails and the path that the Osterspaiers did with the Langhalsweg is just great 👌The view from the Kipplei is simply fantastic, I …

Today there was a very nice tour along the Rhine from the pretty half-timbered village of Osterspay. The Langhalsweg is up for election as Germany's most beautiful hiking trail.
In the middle of the village, the Langhans sits on a rock in the fountain. It goes through orchards to Liebenstein Castle with its tea pavilion. There are wonderful views from …

April 12, 2024,Osterspaier Langhalsweg mit Blüten und Waldweg

Today we had another absolutely dream tour.
We parked at the village square in Osterspai. I extended the Osterspai Langhalsweg a little. You don't treat yourself to anything else 😄😄 We started off a bit from the Blütenweg and then along the forest path until we came across the Langhalsweg. There weren't that many flowers, but both paths were characterized …

I met up with my girlfriend halfway through.
I really enjoyed the many sayings along the tour 😄
Lots of beautiful views of the Rhine, including some sunshine at the end 🌞
Now it's time to take the ferry back to Boppard and head home.
A day full of wonderful impressions and conversations 🥰

Very beautiful circular route with great views of the Marksburg and the Rhine and photo opportunities such as the Middle Rhine Heart and the Rhine Swing. We have extended the original hiking trail a little. The elevation gain is easy to manage and the paths are very varied. A very beautiful route, especially in spring when the flowers are in …
