Self-guided Walking Tour from Rudesheim to Koblenz

Mountain chains with legendary views onto the river Rhine, vineyards as far as the eye can reach, countless castels and palaces, enchanting half-timber: all of this and more will you discover during the hiking week located between Mainz and Coblenz. The Rheingau-region with its idyllic wine locations and numerous wine taverns called ‘Straußenwirtschaften’ invite you to sample the delicious Riesling-wine. In the UNESCO-World Cultural Heritage region of the ‘Mittelrheingau’ you walk past a number of majestic strongholds situated on ledges along the tracks of pure Rhine romanticism, which already inspired Heinrich Heine to create his Loreley-song. Incredible scenic beauty and culture – it is not for nothing that the Rheinsteig-path was nominated Germany’s most beautiful hiking route. Simply hiking ‘on a high level, in the truest sense of the word!

• Germany's most beautiful hiking trail
