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 …

July 25, 2025,Rhein: Loreley Extratour - Premium-Rundweg am Rheinsteig

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, …

Visit to the World Heritage cultural landscape of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
At Marco's recommendation, we ran the fantastic lap "Loreley Extra Tour".
Beautiful 🤩, thanks for the recommendation.
Partly the tour runs on the Rheinsteig and offers magnificent views of the river again and again. The other part runs in the "hinterland", is very agricultural and reminded me …

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 …

May 1, 2025,Rheinsteig Loreley-Extratour

Today, we had beautiful sunny weather during this circular tour of the Loreley. Right from the start, we descended steeply from the Loreley plateau to the Rhine, and immediately afterward, we climbed all the way back uphill again. It was quite a sweaty climb. After that, we continued with short descents and climbs through shady forests, bright yellow rapeseed fields, …
