Highlight • Viewpoint

Schwedenschanze Pavilion with View of the Rhine Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not half as crowded as at the Loreley and also a fantastic view of the steep slopes of the Middle Rhine Valley. The hiking hut invites you to take an extended break.

Swedish Redoubt

Highlight • Viewpoint

The section before the Schwedenschanze was probably the most Alpine part of the track. Single trail and quite steep slopes (coming from the north). Very beautiful in dry weather with good visibility.
