Deer and Wildlife Enclosure St. Quintin

Highlight • Structure

On the Rheinhöhentour St. Quintin you will find several game reserves, some of which are "well visited". Even if the animals are very shy, it is really fun to watch them.

The tour is more challenging in snow and takes longer. To get to St. Quintin, it is a steep downhill walk right at the beginning. Trekking poles increase safety. Here we still have sun and beautiful views. At the slate cave, the path leads over steps with a railing and ropes. Not recommended in snow. We risk it because there …

November 11, 2022,Rheinhöhentour St. Quintin - In Memoriam Bonny

Today's tour brings back memories of my little Bonny, who hasn't been with us for two months now, as it leads to a few places that the little headstrong dog lady accompanied me to in 2019 before long tours became too strenuous for her *sigh*
(the pictures at the beginning are for reminders only and are not part of the …

May 27, 2023,Rheinhöhentour St. Quintin Begegnung mit Heiligen und Steinernem Männchen

I'm really sorry Komoot, I really didn't need you here 🫢. The tour is so well signposted that electronic assistance was rarely required. Just the fact that the beautiful Sankt Quintin chapel is not even mentioned on the Komoot hiking maps is a bit annoying. But that's about all. Not to be underestimated are the inclines and declines with sometimes …

The idea for this tour comes from the Rhineland-Palatinate tour portal. The starting point is at the FC Karbach sports field, where there is also a parking lot. To reach it, take exit 42 off the A61 and drive towards St. Goar, turning right after about 80 meters. Just past the parking lot, there is an information board. There you …

Freshly signposted and funded from the Leader Regional Budget of the LAG Hunsrück. The new almost 12 km long circular hiking trail Rheinhöhentour St. Quintin around Karbach. I saw it on Facebook last week and of course today we had to try the tour despite the not so good weather forecast. Up until 3 km before the start it was …

A great, varied hike past the St.Quintin chapel, the Kieselay, the 5 Castles View [only visible today], the Rhine View and the Stone Man.
My starting point was the Karbach sports field.
It goes straight onto the route and after the first turn, it's my hike. It
Looking through the trees gives a foretaste of a great hike.
St.Quintin is …
