September 27, 2024,Rheinsteig (Süd-Nord) ✦ Etappe 10 ✦ Kamp-Bornhofen – Braubach

This weekend I decided to continue the Rheinsteig in three stages in two days. It started early in the afternoon at the Kamp-Bornhofen train station with one of the longest and steepest access routes to date, comparable to the one in Rüdesheim.

November 6, 2025,Etappe 10: Von Kamp-Bornhofen nach Braubach – Rheinsteig

Today's hike was quite challenging; the climbs were rather steep and the route somewhat longer. Parts of the paths were quite difficult, as they had been churned up by wild boars and were muddy, making them hard to walk on. But the stunning views over the Rhine, the beautiful castle at the end, and the friendly people more than made …

May 20, 2024,Rheinsteig Etappe Braubach - Kamp-Bornhofen

Starting in the idyllic Braubach, from here a beautiful climb to the Marksburg, the only castle on the Middle Rhine that was never destroyed 😍 Beautiful, varied stage with high-altitude paths and the best panoramic views, species-rich forest, past meadow orchards, there are plenty of rest areas with beautiful views of the Rhine. A really beautiful stage of the Rheinsteig, …

June 24, 2022,Etappe 12: Von Kamp-Bornhofen nach Braubach – Rheinsteig

In my opinion, a very nice section of the Rheinsteig. We walked from south to north and experienced beautiful views of the Rhine. However, there are also some quite steep, almost alpine climbs.

April 7, 2023,Rheinsteig Etappe 5 Kamp-Bornhofen bis Burbach

In the unfortunately rainy weather, the route was a single muddy path and as a result, ascents and especially descents were sometimes even dangerous.
At the beginning it is still a beautiful hillside path, which later turns into forest and thus again the majority away from the Rhine.
No refreshments on the way.

May 22, 2025,Rheinsteig 10. Etappe Kamp-Bornhofen - Braubach (Süd-Nord)

After hiking stages 8 and 9, today was stage 10.
If I were to do it again, I would take the pilgrim's path after the Florianshütte to avoid the forest highway and rejoin the Rheinsteig at the Heiligenbach Stollen.

The turnoff is marked "Am Pilgerweg" on the map.

June 17, 2025,Wanderprojekt Rheinsteig: Etappe von Braubach nach Kamp-Bornhofen (Nord - Süd) ****

We did it! 21 kilometers and 710 meters of elevation gain! 28 kilometers of endurance training, in this heat... good training for the Eifel Wilderness Trail in July!

Our four-star NaTour took us south on the Rheinsteig from Braubach. We passed the Rhine towns of Osterspai and Filsen to Kamp-Bornhofen. Three of us did half of the NaTour, and then …

August 14, 2024,2024-08-14 Rheinsteig Thruhike Tag 9 (Braubach - Kamp-Bornhofen)

On day 9 of the Rheinsteig trail, after an overnight stay and breakfast at the Hotel "Zum weißen Schwanen," we immediately set off on a steep climb to Marksburg Castle (the best-preserved hilltop castle in the Middle Rhine Valley). From the pleasure pavilion, the trail continued with a leisurely hike: a descent into the Dinkholder Bach valley to the mineral …
