January 26, 2025,Alte Brauerei im Kasbachtal - Erpeler Ley - Runde von Kasbach
Today we went on a tour along the Rhine for the first time in a long time.
Starting at the cascade in Unkel, we went over the hill near Bruchhausen, down into the Kasbachtal (we had planned to have a coffee in the Alte Brauerei, but unfortunately it's closed until February 27th😔) and over the Erpeler Ley. The view from …

Once you reach the top, you then briefly walk on field paths and asphalt paths, then continue through the Kasbachtal and on the Rheinsteig to the Erpeler Ley lookout point and finally over forest and meadow paths and past the Stuxberg to the starting point of …

Beautiful hike along the Rhine. We started in Unkel via the Hähnerbachtal, through the Kasbachtal with a stop at the Steffi brewery. Then slowly back to Unkel via the Erpeler Ley. There we stopped at the wine house "Im Lämmlein". I can only recommend it. 🍷

With the very moody and unpredictable weather lately, I was lucky today that this hike didn't rain. ⛅️😮‍💨👍

A special highlight for me on this tour was the old brewery in Kasbachtal.

Unfortunately, I passed there outside of opening hours, but the external impression alone made me decide to stop by there on another occasion and on another tour! …

Having escaped the rain, we had a great hike without rain and even sunshine at the end (...and a delicious Bienenstich in the Nelles bakery in Unkel). The hike is really recommended. The paths are sometimes adventurous and also strenuous when going up the mountain.

Super nice tour with a lot of forest, absolutely recommended even for hot days
