Walking Tour 5-days Rüdesheim - St. Goarshausen

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 your short hiking holiday located between Rüdesheim and St. Goarshausen. 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.
