되르트 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

After struggling up from the slate caves – a steep path, and extremely slippery in autumn due to the damp leaves – you've earned a breather here. We sat in the autumn sunshine and enjoyed the view of the Rhine Valley.

A wonderful viewpoint overlooking the Rhine Valley and the villages and castles beyond. Approximately 100 meters before the rest area, there is a large information panel explaining the view.

An impressive natural monument. If you hike the trail in autumn or winter, the next 500 meters to the Rheinblick shelter are very difficult. The path leads steeply uphill to the right of the cave. The rocks are completely covered in leaves, so you have to clear them step by step with one foot to see where you're placing your next foot. The safety rope is of very limited help in this situation. So climb very slowly and carefully, and use your trekking poles judiciously. At the Rheinblick shelter, you can then take a breather.

It's great that since the St Quintin circular trail was created there is now a second small path back to the trail.

Here you can actually see a tip of the Rhine near Kestert ☺️

There are quartz veins between the slate layers. You don't see them very often. The cave is damp from the dripping water, which makes it seem mystical.

Large, clear parking lot, which is also (almost) the starting point for the Sankt Quintin Tour
