Rocky paths, fantastic panoramas, vineyards, quiet side valleys, close to the Rhine, Katz Castle
We parked in St. Goar and then took the ferry to St. Goarshausen. There we went past the two churches and then straight up to the high plateau to Patersberg. There is a small extra loop to the extra loop, the Teufelspeedsche, but we skipped that …

Today we took advantage of a day off and the beautiful weather to take a longer walk on the Loreley plateau. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for the interesting "Myth of the Loreley" exhibition on the Loreley rock. From the Loreley, we descended to St. Goarshausen, before continuing our steep hike uphill. A longer stretch was along the Rheinsteig trail, …

May 26, 2024,Rheinsteig Rundweg - Loreley-Extratour

Today we went to the other side of the Rhine on the approximately 16 km long Loreley Extratour. The official starting point is on the Loreley, but since we took the ferry across, we started in St. Goarshausen. We walked the tour clockwise and initially it was a steep climb, with great panoramic views of the Rhine and the other …

A highly recommended route that includes everything. From steep paths to dirt roads to asphalt. It offers you great views of the Middle Rhine Valley and the narrowest drivable part of the Rhine. About halfway along the route, over the L338, take the first dirt road on the left. Unfortunately, it is not signposted. Otherwise, it is well signposted...

MOVEMENT helps! 2024
Almost the whole world knows the Rhine and the Loreley. 🌍
Things might look different with this extra tour. 🤩
Even though I got up very late today and oversleeping is part of life, the day couldn't have been better. 🌞😎
Started in Patersberg at 3 Burgenblick. You can park for free here and start the tour …

Very nice, interesting and varied hike with many highlights. The tour offers fantastic views over the Rhine and partly runs directly past the river. There are also many beautiful paths, extensive meadows and much more. The Loreley extra tour is highly recommended :)

July 30, 2022,Rheinsteig Rundweg - ab Loreley-Besucherzentrum

I was drawn to the Rhine again 🥰

The start was the Loreley visitor center (parking lot with shady spots, refreshments, clean toilet, summer toboggan run right next door - parking fee: €3/day👍🏻).

The forest passages really got me excited. Single trails and always a view of the Rhine at the beginning and end.
In between, however, the road was …
