Small round in the evening sun on the Neckar, over the weir/lock with a view of a small vineyard and along the city villas or the bank, with a wonderful view of the old town and the castle, over the Old Bridge to the Kulturbrauerei... Cheers 🍻

Today the beautiful city of Heidelberg was the focus. It started at Karlsplatz, via Kornmarkt, up the path to the castle, the city's landmark and also famous because it is still partly a ruin due to wars and lightning strikes in the 17th/18th century. The large castle park also offers very beautiful

Today we went from Viernheim through fields and huge strawberry plantations towards the Neckar. At the Wasserturm in Ladenburg, the moment had arrived! Parallel to the river, I followed the Neckarkanal for a stretch in the sunshine, to experience the full breadth again before Heidelberg. As the silhouette

My stage today started quite early at Worms Cathedral, after the ringing of the bells motivated me early on. I crossed the Rhine via the Nibelungen Bridge with the impressive tower of the same name! I walked over the Rhine high water dam along possible flood areas and only a short distance past a chemical

The last stage of this Rhine tour started in Osthofen and immediately led again through the vineyards of the Rheinterrassenweg. The grape harvest is also in full swing. I followed a section of the Way of St. James, past Herrnsheim Castle, which is currently being completely renovated. Afterwards, I approached

Today's tour started, with the best hiking weather, at the Old District Court in Oppenheim and led mainly along the beautiful Rheinterrassenweg! It goes through the vineyards and in some places, quite unromantically, harvesting with Grapeliners had already begun. Some information boards and sample vines

Today I started my tour with a visit to the impressive Mainz Cathedral and then followed the Rhine, until it went through nature reserves and finally through the beautiful vineyards, even though the weather temporarily darkened and it rained. But in the idyllic wine towns of Nierstein and Oppenheim

Today's, thus second, intermediate stop started in St. Goar and the crossing with the Rhine ferry to St. Goarshausen took place. From there, we went along the Rhine, with a view of the Loreley sculpture on the harbor mole and then up the really steep Rheinsteig to the Loreley plateau with its open-air

Rhein-/Moseltour: Koblenz - Deutsches Eck - Winningen
Heute ging es einmal durch die Innenstadt in Koblenz bis zum, leider wg. Bauarbeiten, verhüllten Kurfürstlichen Schloss und dann am Rhein entlang, mit Blick auf die gewaltige Festung Ehrenbreitstein, bis zum Deutschen Eck mit Kaiser-Wilhelm-Mahnmal! Und dann an der Mosel entlang mit enorm steilen Weinhängen und vermutlich akrobatischer Weinlese im…

Die heutige Tour führte anfänglich über idyllische Wege des Rheinsteiges mit herrlichen Ausblicken auf Andernach und danach durch die ersten Vororte und schliesslich wieder direkt am Rhein entlang bis nach Neuwied. Ein Abstecher zu meiner ersten berufsbedingten Wohnung vor 41 Jahren war auch dabei 🤗

Rheintour: Rhöndorf, Linz - Bad Hönningen
Heute Morgen ging’s los, im schönsten Sonnenschein, um Konrad Adenauers Villa im schicken Rhöndorf, mit Blick auf den Drachenfelsen, zu besuchen! Schon die dortige Ausstellung ist sehr interessant, aber die mittägliche Führung beschrieb noch mehr seine Erlebnisse und vor allem Errungenschaften, in hellen und ganz dunklen Zeiten. Echt lohnenswert, nicht…

Today I started the final stage of my longer hiking tours for this year in beautiful Heidelberg! Although the weather was still cool, it was perfect for hiking as I went from the Neckar through some city districts out towards Hockenheim. First over asphalted country paths, through forests and then parallel
