Here too, sure-footedness and a head for heights are a must. Otherwise, a super great view and tour.

Rheinsteig Königsetappe .... I've hiked this stage three times now, but I'm always thrilled, one of the most beautiful places the Middle Rhine Valley has to offer. You should go this stage at least twice. But once upstream and once downstream.

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.

After I had already tried yesterday and after 1 km descent into the valley at the first tree I wanted to sign I noticed that the signs are still in the trunk of the car 🤦‍♂️, I was better prepared today. The backpack was also correspondingly heavy (cordless screwdriver plus spare battery, drilling template, several cartridges with glue, screws, wire …

Actually, I don't have any time today, especially since I got home from work very late this morning. I would like the part "How many hiking signs do we need for the Weisel hiking trails?" but finally lock it up so that we can promptly go to the signposts for the paths. The only thing missing was the area from …

Today, Silke has to work on a Monday for once, so I went for a hike on my own.

The Weisel hiking trails include the "Urbach Loops." I made a significant contribution to the route of Loop A. In my opinion, Loop B is completely unappealing, and Loop C is actually nice, but too long from Weisel and essentially identical …
