Kappelberg Summit (Highest Point in Rheinhessen)

Highlight • Summit

We can really score with our highest elevations in Rheinhessen :-), but for me as a lowland Tyrolean it's almost a mountain. There is a summit cross and a nice place to rest.

September 4, 2022,Bechenheim, Selzquelle, Kapellberg und Napoleonstein

Today there was a relatively unspectacular tour from Bechenheim in Rheinhessen Switzerland, which I quickly put together this morning. We were on various marked hiking trails such as the Kneipp-Napoleonwanderweg, the R 1, the Kappelbergrunde, the Palatinate Forest Blauer Balken etc., sometimes we had to dig into the bushes because the paths I had chosen didn't exist. Via Niederwiesen it …

The weather wasn't exactly impressive today; the sky was heavily overcast, but at least it wasn't raining and the temperature was a manageable 3 degrees …
