September 18, 2024,2024-09-18 - Von Osterspai nach Braubach [Rheinsteig]

Really great hike, especially for forest fans. Always great views of the Rhine and the Marksburg. But there are a lot of elevation gains and losses in the constant ups and downs. The old town of Braubach is worth seeing.

September 27, 2025,Rheinsteig mit Überraschungen💚🍻...👍

From Braubach, a section of the Rheinsteig trail to Osterspai, along the Langhalspfad (Long Neck Trail) with numerous views, including a swing, a beer from the treasure chest, and Osterspai (the Osterspai ❤️). A truly beautiful stage of the Rheinsteig 👍
