Today we embarked on the first leg of our Rhine-Nahe Wine Trail, a 95 km long hike from Kirn to Bingen.



Given the weather, we opted for a shorter stage with minimal elevation gain. From the train station in Staudernheim, we took the RB 33 regional train to Monzenheim and from there followed the signs

After yesterday's fantastic weather, today's hike up Laubenheimer Höhe was shrouded in thick fog. From there, we walked to Bodenheim and back to Laubenheim. The fog slowly lifted, and we could see again. I was familiar with most of the route – from the Rhine Terrace Trail, the Mainz Heights Trail, and

Dream Loop Trilogy: Instead of one longer hike, we did three Dream Loops near Oberwesel today. These shorter versions of the Dream Loops are about 5 to 7 km long and are usually a bit easier.



Our destinations today were Spitze Stein, Pfalzblick, and Werlauer Pilz – under glorious sunshine and with wonderful

With this weather, I didn't want another misty hike in the Odenwald, so I chose a "white spot" tour in Dietzenbach – following the motto: where haven't we been yet? So, we started today at the train station and then strolled through the beautiful old town before climbing up to the observation tower

Today we went back to the Odenwald. On the drive there, I briefly hoped we'd see some sunshine. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, as you can see from the pictures. From Wald-Michelbach, we hiked over the Königsbuckel hill and below the Geisberg mountain to Ober-Schattenwag. Then on via Dürr-Ellenbach

Today we tackled the next stage of the Rheinsteig trail, officially stage 18 on the south-to-north route. We parked our car again at the train station in Leubsdorf and then took the regional train to Rheinbrohl. From there, we followed the access path to the Rheinsteig. The sun was shining, the elevation

After the rather boring hikes at the beginning of the year, we finally got back on the Rheinsteig trail today. We drove to Leubsdorf, where you can park for free near the train station. From there, we followed the Rheinsteig markings to Unkel. A fantastic route with magnificent views and beautiful paths

Today I wanted a short, local hike, so I chose the ViaNatura, which I know mostly from cycling.



It was a rather dull walk under a gray sky. The recommendation rate for this time of year is rather low.

Since we hadn't yet visited the Kinnsfels Tunnel, I modified the Gangelsberg Vital Tour for today's hike and included the tunnel. A bit of the Prinzregent Luitpold Trail was added, and the tour was complete. However, the path before and after the tunnel isn't great; the otherwise lovely forest path is
