October 24, 2023,Wisper Trail 1: "In Vino Veritas"

And another beautiful Wisper Trail that we had saved especially for autumn (@Helius FFM thank you very much for the tip!)
The first half of the route is almost entirely uphill, the second half downhill again. With the exception of a few forest sections, you have a fantastic view of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley for most of the route. …

March 6, 2022,In Vino Veritas - Wisper Trail

In Vino Veritas - there is truth in wine. Beautiful tour through the romantic vineyard landscape with beautiful forest passages and one or the other bench with a view of the Rhine. Perfect weather today, plenty of sun at only 6 degrees.

October 7, 2022,Auferstanden aus der Ruine

It was a sad sight for years - the Hilchenhaus in Lorch am Rhein, which had fallen into ruin after dubious investment plans had failed. One of the earliest Renaissance buildings in Germany had been in danger of collapsing ever since the gutting was stuck, and behind it yawned a shell of a hotel. And today? This has disappeared and …

November 13, 2022,Wisper Trail In Vino Veritas (Lorch im Rheingau)

in fantastic weather (full of sun 🌞🌞) and that started in mid-November in the Middle Rhine Valley in Lorsch. First only uphill with great views over the Rhine glistening in the sunlight, with a view of Niederheimbach. In the meantime through forest-like terrain, and then down again with a view of the Rhine back to the starting point. On the …

In Vino Veritas - There is truth in wine

This other Wispertrail from Lorch is basically (again) a “Rhine tour” and can also be described with a second motto:
"Old ways - old walls"

The footpath from Lorch to Rüdesheim was an old merchant's route.
Until the Middle Ages, the dreaded “Binger Loch” was not navigable for larger ships.

September 29, 2024,Wispertrail "in vino veritas"

In Vino Veritas

There is truth in wine - as on this path. As you climb up to the World Heritage vineyard, it becomes clear that winegrowing in the Middle Rhine Valley is steep, the work of the winemakers is honest and strenuous - and so is hiking sometimes. That's where the bench comes in handy. In addition to varied …
