Viewpoint and shelter at the end of Oelsbergsteig with a view of the Rhine and Oberwesel

Here is a nice rest area with a breathtaking view of the Rhine Valley. Several benches and an open shelter invite you to linger. This is where the Oelsbergsteig starts and ends.

View of the Rhine Valley from the Oelsbergsteig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Plenty of safeguards, but not absolutely necessary. Areas with high ladders can be bypassed.

Suitable for normal hikers and children. Sturdy shoes are recommended. From Oberwesel after the climb there is a viewing and picnic area.

Seven Virgins Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sieben-Jungfrauen-Blick is located below the Günderodehaus. Actually, it cannot be separated from the Günderodehaus. Very nice. From there you can go straight down to the town of Oberwesel.

A short but scenic stage with a fantastic view of the Lorelei 🥰 In Oberwesel, a stroll along the city wall is worthwhile. There's even a dedicated circular walking route along the city wall.

You can return to St. Goar in 5 minutes by bus or train. Or continue on to the next stage of the Rhine Castles Trail 😉

Today was another 9 euro adventure day! The DB app indicated a punctual departure for 10:40 a.m. from the MRB, so quickly down to the station. When we got there, the announcement was 10 minutes late, followed by 25, 40 and 60 minutes late! If you've had to wait that long, then you should be happy when the 🚂 train …

Fantastic hike with my dear friends.
We had everything, small paths, up and down, amazing views over the Rhine and its surroundings, nice conversations with other hikers, delicious food, delicious wine 🍷 , on the way we caught a few trolls, just before Oberwesel another detour made into a film set for "Heimat".
Finally, a little wine directly on the …

May 12, 2025,Wanderrunde🚶🏼‍♂️— Oberwesel-Oelsbergsteig-Büttenplatz-Maria Ruh

Off we went... starting in Oberwesel for a wonderful tour, through the very pretty town past the Powder Tower, St. Martin's Church, and the historic old city wall to the Oelsbergsteig trail. A great trail with rope guides and ladders (which can also be bypassed) with repeated magnificent views of the Rhine all the way to the Loreleyblick Maria Ruh, …

What do you do when you still have a few days off, but the local weather is a catastrophe?
Use the WetterApp to search for the next spot without a rain forecast!
So overnight we ended up in Oberwesel on the left bank of the Rhine to hike three stages of the RheinBurgenWeg.

March 31, 2025,Wanderung RheinBurgenWeg von St Goar nach Oberwesel😍🥾👌

This hike in the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley Cultural Landscape is certainly one of the most beautiful. Unfortunately, the Oelsbergsteig trail was closed, but the detour has also been beautifully integrated into the natural landscape. A special gem on this tour is the Günderodehaus above Oberwesel. It's also highly recommended when visiting Oberwesel. What shocked us, however, …
