Hiking

Anyone who knows the Rhine only as a canalized, walled waterway, gets an idea of the mighty, wild river that the Romans discovered 2000 years ago. Moreover, two thousand years ago, the Upper Rhine was a malaria-contaminated landscape. Behind them began the dark "Hercynian Forest" already mentioned by Caesar, which stretched as far as the Carpathians: an endless wilderness of woods and swamps.
