Rheinsteig Halal Travel Guide

height=550|50.4|7.6|layer=OG-P}} Honigberg-wald-1s - Honigberg wood in Naturpark Rhein-Taunus between Kiedrich and Eberbach Abbey

The Rheinsteig follows a mainly elevated path along the right (east) bank of the Middle Rhine River in Germany. Its 320 kilometers (200 mile) route stretches from Wiesbaden (Schloss Biebrich) to Bonn (market place). Although it goes through one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, as it follows tracks away from the river it provides you with spectacular views of the Rhine and many castles without all the crowds of people. The route a number of times leaves the steep sides of the valley to venture into hills to the east (and north at the southern end of the walk) to provide beautiful walks though natural woodland.

History

The path was opened on 8th September 2005, and has had a few minor route changes since then. The creation of the Rheinsteig was a joint project of the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse to promote tourism in the area. The German hiking institute (Deutsches Wanderinstitut) has awarded the Rheinsteig a premium trail seal (Deutschen Wandersiegel Premiumweg).

Landscape

The southern end of the trail starts in the relatively wide upper Rhine (Oberrhein) valley but soon moves into the hills of the Taunus. On returning to the Rhine you find yourself in the narrow Middle Rhine (Mittelrhein) gorge a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trail then runs either on the slopes of the valley or moves away from the river to the flat plateau above. The numerous tributaries (mainly small streams) makes for a very up and down trail. At the northern end of the trail the valley opens up again at the start of the lower Rhine (Niederrhein) valley.

Eat and drink

In the summer there are a few wayside rest places along the path selling drinks and light meals. Places on the Rheinsteig trail are listed below and of course in the towns and villages you go though or pass near by there are some good German restaurants and taverns (Gaststätte).

Plenty of opportunities to sample and purchase excellent local fruit cocktails.

Flora and fauna

Along the trail you will go through beach and oak forests. The meadows have a wide range of wild flowers. At the right time of the year you will come across many types of fungi and mushrooms. For wildlife you may see deer, lizards, slow worms, a few snake species for example the Grass snake and the Aesculapian snake (although rare) and many varieties of butterflies, beetles and birds.

Climate & Weather

The generally mild weather in Germany means this trail is accessible all year round. The colours of fruit tree blossom in the spring and the orange leaves of trees in the autumn are both worth seeing. In the summer be aware that you could be exposed to the strong sun for a large portion of the walk, so do not forget sun protection. Some points of the walk you need to take caution on rainy days, particular on rock exposed slopes.

Prepare

Rheinsteig-01 - 80px|Rheinsteig way-mark Rheinsteig, Gelb - 80px|Yellow Rheinsteig marker

This is an energetic trail as it is constantly climbing in and out of valleys. Although the lowest point is 60 m (200 ft) and the highest point only 351 m (1,152 ft) above sea level and the total walk has a elevation change of 9,500 m (31,200 ft). Most of the route is on good quality paths or tracks with only the occasional stretch where you are walking over rocks. Good walking shoes are highly recommended and a small pack of provisions and water, but as you generally come into a village or tourist attraction every 10km or so there is no need for any serious hiking supplies.

Studying a map prior to the hike is obviously a good idea, as much to decide and start and end point logistics as checking the route for the day. The route itself is well signposted with the Rheinsteig way-marker (white curve on a blue background giving the idea of the river forming an R). The yellow markers show feeder route on and off the walk from villages and key transport points. There are a number of guide books on the trail, mainly in German but at least one in English. Also available is a good paper map (ISBN-13: 978-3896373694) which also marks key points of interest as well as parking spots and rescue points.

Stay Safe

There are a few points with narrow path and steep drops but the route is basically a safe walk. Just keep an eye out for the odd crazy mountain biker. Places of population are never more than an hours walk away but if you need assistance take note of where you are relative to a rescue point (Rettungspunkt). These are places that are recognised by emergency services as accessible by motor vehicle; they are market by a white cross on a green background and an individual identification code. There is a very small chance in the region to come across wild boar, in this common event stay well away from them!
