I had an early breakfast today and set off at 8:30. I arrived in Wiesbaden just before 12:00, was on the train 10 minutes later, and arrived in Kassel two and a half hours later.
Perfect timing, because a big rain front is moving through down there right now 🍀🥳
Now I just have to get back to work; the

Completely insignificant forest stage, compiled by Komoot because I skipped Kiedrich (no hotel, too short a stage).
Brief distant views of the Rhine and Main, but that's it.
Accommodation: Hotel Schlangenbad, a standard hotel.

As expected, there was no more Rhine today – almost like Habichtswald, but it was okay to let the tour sink in.
After a really good breakfast, I had to go to Rewe to buy provisions, as there's neither a restaurant nor a shopping option this evening.
So the tour was very short, and I arrived shortly before

The last stage in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, in Rüdesheim, the "mountains" thinned out, and I was actually feeling a bit sentimental...
Mostly on wide paths, the trail climbed gently, and the train for the journey there was also on time.
Accommodation at the Hotel Traube, €43 including breakfast—you

First thing this morning, I found a tick on my socks. Then I left my trekking poles at the train station. Then, for the first time in my life, I hitchhiked on the side of the road (thank goodness a young woman stopped). Then I took the next train – with poles 🍀
The trip was quite relaxed, in contrast

Today was the Loreley stage, and it was on the weekend. After all, I got there shortly after 10 – completely alone 😄
It wasn't until about 20 minutes later that other people arrived.
During my break, I got the message from Anna - rental agreement signed, yay....🎉💞🍀
After that, things continued relatively

Beautiful tour in perfect weather - had to buy sunscreen, I burned my right ear yesterday 😅
Very varied trails, including lots of climbing over rocks
Great views 🤩
Accommodation: Hotel "Zur alten Schmiede" in the narrow old town of St. Goarshausen.
Went shopping in the evening while hungry - a mistake 😂

A very nice stage hike "backwards," always up and down the slope in 20-degree heat. At times, I ran in a T-shirt 🥵
Saw deer, lizards, and squirrels.
I took the train back from Braubach for the 5 km, though, and thanks to a delay, it arrived just as I was at the platform, yay!
One more wash, and that was

Today, we basically skipped a stage because the actual one would have been too long to meet up. We'll make up for it tomorrow.
Icy start to the morning, then completely sunny and a lovely up and down through the forest with amazing views.
Meeted up with Cagla in the afternoon and had a lovely coffee in the beer garden 😊

Today the stage would have been only 8 km long. But I didn't take the train back, I walked the 5 km.
I also bought a light outdoor jacket and sent my winter clothes home by post, as it's supposed to be up to 18 degrees.

Today's tour was modified because the stages were now in an unfortunate location and I already know the Ruppertsklamm (very slippery) 👀
So first a few kilometers of the Rheinsteig and from midday directly along the Rhine past Koblenz (where the carnival music was blaring 😂)
Now a holiday apartment for

Today was soooo relaxing on beautiful forest paths to Engers (route changed due to stage length).
First a delicious meal, then checked in (I had the hotel "Zur Römerbrücke" all to myself 😁), and then back to the Rhine, to watch the ships and the sunset 🤩
Perfect Sunday ❤️

Gray skies again today, but at least no rain. A relatively uneventful walk to Rengsdorf, where we stayed at the Hotel Waldterasse with a very good restaurant. A carnival party in the hall with a loud, catchy tune: "If I were a piece of furniture, I'd be a lamp from the '70s." 🙆

Very changeable weather today. First completely hazy, then we sat out the first sleet shower at the shelter.
I wore a raincoat but no cape, and got hit hard by the second sleet shower. Then it rained heavily, and my hair was soaking wet.
On the last climb, the sun suddenly came out. I passed the memorial

Another premium trail "checked off," now only two remain 😄
Nice route, but thankfully the strenuous part came first, phew...
I had breakfast before setting off; there were still traces of snow on the meadow and the grass was frozen. Later, I warmed up and lugged half my clothes back into my backpack.
