    Hiking

    The 50th degree north latitude encircles the globe and connects the municipality of Trechtingshausen and others in the upper Middle Rhine Valley at river kilometer 533.8. with the cities of Mainz, Prague, Kraków, Vancouver and the southern tip of England.
    Wine experts like to call it the wine equator. This imaginary line is intended to mark the northernmost limit in the world on which viticulture is even possible.
    You can exceed the 50th degree of latitude here, just like in Rittersdorf or near Wittlich.

    At this point, a metal band embedded in the asphalt marks the 50th parallel north, which crosses the small road here.
