A beautiful, promising 🏰 🏞 and a bit adventurous 🥾 🥾 tour, just the way we like it ❤️... we started in Oberlahnstein, at the spa and healing forest for children, large free parking lot, mostly in the shade 👌👌... before the mass rush at Pentecost is coming 🙈, let's make the bend 😉

One of my toughest tours at 28 degrees in full sun...the last climb was pretty tough, especially since the blazing sun not only raises your heart rate but also makes your head start to thunder...But of course, a brilliant, adventurous tour, typical of Mr. Pfade!!!😀

"Mr. Paths" are two gentlemen who look for and publish great tours on hidden or little-known paths, e.g. the tour komoot.de/tour/1132478486?ref=x near Braubach, which I hiked today . I only moved the start and end point of the circular hike to the Braubach train station in order to be able to travel by train (here to follow the hike: rb.gy/21pcz). …

May 26, 2023,Mr. Pfade: Abenteuertour Braubach

After only 100m you can feel that this is going to be a very special round trip. Perhaps even the most beautiful start of all Mr. Paths tours, especially in summer. We embark on meadow paths of the Rhine heights and enjoy an incredible view of the Middle Rhine and its landscape. Here, too, things go off track and we …

Great is the right word for this hike!
Beautiful right from the start, a path led over lush meadows, dream weather, opening the shorts/T-shirt season I followed Mr. Pfade's tour. Living up to his name, one path more beautiful than the other, I reached Braubach, …

March 30, 2024,Auf den Spuren von Mr. Pfade - Braubach

We actually wanted to join the Misterpfade adventure tour in Braubach and hike the entire trail. After a photo stop, Komoot switched off and we involuntarily shortened about 3 km because we missed a junction. Nevertheless, it was a nice and sometimes strenuous round that I can happily recommend. It would certainly have been even more beautiful in dry weather …

March 16, 2025,Rund um Braubach und die Marksburg (Mittelrhein)

This tour comes very close to the category "The best the region has to offer" 💚☀️🏞️

Because
▪️It's constantly uphill and downhill (according to Komoot, 670 meters of elevation gain)
▪️Some rocky sections/passages give you a mountain feeling
▪️Several different landscapes are passed through (nature reserve, protected area, ancient oak forests, lean grasslands, etc.)
▪️Many rest stops along the way …
