And there it is, the end of the journey! An inconspicuous information board in Boppard.
Was it worth it? Oh yes! Was it a torture at times? Also! 😂
Officially, the trail, if you also hike the Ruwer Route, is 410 km long and has 9340 meters of altitude.
For me, it ended up being 488 km and 11540 meters

Second to last day on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig and…. Yesterday I wasn't in the Ehrbachklamm at all, I was there today. 😂
The official website of the trail has an error here, the author of the text confused the Baybach- and Ehrbachklamm.
Well then, today I crossed the Ehrbachklamm and I am lost for words

Today I hiked from Kastellaun to Morshausen, doing 2 stages in a row, because the first of the two stages ends at the Schmausemühle, in the middle of nowhere.
This tour was absolutely fantastic. I was unlucky with the weather, it rained almost non-stop, but that didn't bother me at all.
In short: Ehrbachklamm

This tour makes you forget the tortures of the last hike! Wonderful weather, dreamlike landscapes, and a beautiful forest in the second half of the stage. I don't even know exactly what was so special about this forest, but the silence, the dense woods, the small streams, and this “enchanted” atmosphere

The last stages on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig! I started a year ago, in the autumn of 2024. Then I continued in May of this year and now I only have a few final stages ahead of me.
I started in Sohren and once again I had a tour that I will not forget (even in a negative sense). Even as an experienced hiker

Hiking again at last! And finally back to Rhineland-Palatinate. 😊
I have crossed the Westerwaldsteig a few times during my Rheinsteig hike. Today I decided on a circular tour at the Holzbachschlucht. Unfortunately, it turned out that there were a lot of asphalt roads on the route. And of course it's

Today I hiked about 21 km from Rhaunen to Sohren. Either I was in the shade more often, or I imagine that the heat was much more bearable today.
As yesterday, today I had high plateaus with fields and patches of forest alternating with each other. The tour today felt somehow different and I only now realize

Today I continued on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, I walked from Herrstein to Rhaunen.
Two official stages. Due to the heat, I was only wearing a thin t-shirt and took an unbelievable 6 liters of water with me. 🤣
I had left myself the option of only walking to Forellenhof Reinhardsmühle, but since I still

This was a fantastic hike today!
It was 30 degrees, but I had enough water with me. Since it was the Pentecost weekend, I had to skip some stages again, which I will make up for. I skipped a whole 6 stages. 😂
I actually dislike doing this very much and would prefer to always hike the stages in the correct

Today I had a death march 😂
It was off to a bad start from the beginning, the ascent to the hiking trail is very steep, as expected. I went down it yesterday. Once at the top, despite using Komoot, I couldn't find the access to the path at first. Only when I met a hiking couple could I find it.

Ok, this tour was... different. 😂
These ascents were incredibly hard today, even though the altitude meters weren't that high overall. Especially the last, "dark red" ascent in the altitude profile, shortly before Idar-Oberstein, was unbelievably difficult for me. Many sections were very muddy and slippery

Over 30 km today and the hiking trail was amazingly easy. The altitude gain is not that much for 30 km and most ascents and descents are very gentle and long drawn out.
Even the ascent to the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate was barely noticeable...
At the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the

Today the stage from Börfink to Morbach was actually planned, but since it's Sunday, the buses run very inconveniently. That's why I brought forward the stage from Morbach to Kempfeld and will close the "gap" tomorrow. I don't like doing that, but the alternative would have been a 3.5-hour journey.

It was a long time ago, in October, I started my adventure on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig and made it to Reinsfeld.
This morning, I got off the bus in Reinsfeld and set off again.
The weather was a dream, the sun kept appearing and today's "double" stage was over 30 km long. Of course, I had a plan B and would

Actually, I only wanted to spend my last vacation days of 2026 in Heidelberg. Then I sat in a cozy café, opened Komoot, and discovered the “Philosophenweg”. So I finished my breakfast, had another coffee, and set off without a backpack, dressed way too warmly, and wearing street shoes. 😂
