May 1, 2025,Traumschleife Mittelrhein - die Schöne ohne Schatten ☀️

The "Middle Rhine Dream Loop," which only opened in 2021, was nominated for the most beautiful hiking trail in 2022. Unfortunately, it didn't win, as the trail is truly beautiful and pleasant to walk. It begins at the "Spitzen Stein," a vantage point above St. Goar. A viewing tower has also been standing there for several years.

I hiked the tour in April and I'm just as excited as I was then. 😍
