The Rheinburgenweg (formerly: Rheinburgen-Wanderweg) is a long-distance hiking trail on the left side of the Rhine in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage Site from Bingen via Koblenz to the Rolandsbogen in Remagen.
After a fundamental revision of the route in 2010, the route has a total length of approx. 196 km.
It is the counterpart to the Rheinsteig, which leads from Bonn to Wiesbaden on the right bank of the Rhine.
The original version of the Rheinburgenweg went back to planning before the opening of the Rheinsteig and existed on both sides of the Rhine.
The former part on the right bank of the Rhine from Bendorf-Sayn to Rüdesheim was largely identical to the Rheinsteig and was opened on August 24, 2004.
In August 2006, the left bank of the Rhine from Koblenz to Bingen am Rhein was opened.
The Rheinburgenweg was completely revised in 2010 according to the criteria of the "Wanderbares Deutschland Quality Trail" of the Association of German Mountain and Hiking Clubs. It now leads over around 196 km to a good 20 palaces, fortresses, castle ruins, fortresses and many other sights, such as the Andernach geyser.
It leads through the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
At the same time, it offers many views of the right bank of the Rhine with its weirs and other highlights such as the Loreley.
The signet of the Rheinburgenweg is the curved crenellated red R on a white background. Approaches show the sign in yellow on a white background.
