This very varied but also demanding stage of the Rheinsteig offers a great view of the Rhine again and again, you are challenged by ascents and descents with beautiful sections through oak forests with various castles and rock formations.

After 16 and 18 it was time to do Rheinsteig 13 today 😉😉😉 but I did it backwards 😂😂😂 I started straight from my accommodation and then took the train back to the starting point. But a climb 🪜 is still a climb no matter which direction you come from. 🔛 It was a great tour that went from moderately …

Once again, we were out hiking the Rheinsteig in perfect hiking weather. The tour led from Kamp-Bornhofen to Kestert. Once again, the climb was steep and rapid. Via Rosenlay and Wilhemshöhe, we reached the "Hostile Brothers," Sterrenberg Castle, and Liebenstein Castle.

Many narrow paths over hilltops alternated with wide forest and farm tracks.

On the approach to the Rheinsteig trail from Kamp-Bornhofen, I chose the more difficult option. I climbed a distance of 210 meters in elevation.

When I reached the top, I was completely exhausted. Perhaps that was also the reason why I misinterpreted the Rheinsteig signs and initially went the wrong way, forcing me to take a detour of about 3.5 …

This morning we set off early and took public transport to Kamp-Bornhofen. From the train station in Kamp-Bornhofen, the hike began with a steep climb to the Rosenlay. However, the challenging climb was rewarded with a magnificent view. From here, the Rheinsteig trail gently meandered its way up the ridge. Beautiful views presented themselves time and again before the descent …

Yesterday, on my way home, I "just" did stage 13 from Kamp-Bornhofen to Kestert. Two tough climbs at the beginning and in the middle were a real torture in the midsummer temperatures, but this stage also had a lot to offer.
