Since the Motte and I still had this week off, we spontaneously decided to take a short trip to the Rhine. We finally wanted to test 1-2 dream loops. Since the weather did not allow for an extended tour today, we tackled the city wall circuit in Oberwesel. Just the thing for an afternoon in the rain ... there are …

For me, the starting point for the city tour begins at the free parking lot.
Shortly afterwards I climb the steep stairs to the fortification wall to the medieval city wall tour. The route is well signposted. I did some of my tour differently.
You immediately have a great impression of looking back and ahead.
Of the former 22 towers, …

The city wall circular route is nicely laid out and really interesting. You can't really see much of the castle, the view is very nice. The highlight is the Elfenleyweg. Beautiful narrow paths, looks a bit alpine, with many small vantage points.

At the beginning of summer, when we were on the other side of the Rhine on the Langhalsweg (which, by the way, has actually become Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in 2024 👏) and really noticed the beauty of Oberwesel from the car, we immediately decided: we have to take a closer look at this spot.

Simply: Absolutely recommendable! Definitely do it when you're in the area! The city wall, which can be walked on in several places, is simply worth seeing👍😊
