May 31, 2024,Von Ehrenbreitstein , Etappe 10, bis Lahnstein . 20 km,.

Today's tour was very exciting. We spent the night in Ehrenbreitstein. There is no bakery there. Things weren't looking good for our breakfast. We were very lucky to find something in the neighboring town. The route is not well signposted. The Rheinsteig has a few drops here. A steep descent with lots of gravel. The 1.2 km Rupertsklamm is very …

October 23, 2024,Rheinsteig Etappe 10 Von Koblenz nach Niederlahnstein

After the fog came the sun and then there were great views.
My highlight today was the Ruppertsklamm. So special. I hiked it as an ascent. I can only recommend it. The rocks are wet and slippery, the steel cables and the bridges help here. Good footwear is important.

June 13, 2022,Rheinsteig 12: Niederlahnstein nach Ehrenbreitstein

Joachim Fox: Wildly romantic gorge and dense beech forest
Lahnstein - Ruppertsklamm - Lichterkopf - Dornswiese - Wachecker Kopf - Bienhorntal - Koblenz-Pfaffendorf - Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein.
Steep rocks line the path right at the beginning. In difficult places you can climb along the fixed ropes bit by bit.

June 17, 2022,Von Friedland nach Ehrenbreitstein Seilbahn

A very beautiful and demanding path that requires sure-footedness and sturdy shoes. The Ruppertsklamm is really recommendable.
The only thing that marred the hike a bit is that we climbed the official path over the steps (which are in poor condition, overgrown and overgrown) to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress in order to cross the Rhine with the cable car from there. Here …

Still on holiday day 3, stage 12 from the Rheinsteig 🤗🥾👍🏻

Stage 12 can be easily combined with stage 11, if you still have the day before in your bones, leave it alone, because it continues with up, down... and pulse 😅 At the start, the highlight of the route is the Ruppertsklam 🥰
Simply wonderful, a real adventure, I …

September 14, 2023,Rheinsteig Etappe 10 - Auf und ab von Koblenz nach Lahnstein

We wanted to walk a section of the Rheinsteig during our vacation in Koblenz. From Koblenz you can take stage 10, which leads to Lahnstein.
We started on the banks of the Rhine and along it for a while. The beautiful view of the Rhine sets the mood for the tour.
Eventually the route branches off into town and due …

June 18, 2023,Rheinsteig Etappe 10: Von Koblenz nach Niederlahnstein

Today was the next Rheinsteig stage: this time it was 14km from Koblenz to Niederlahnstein. In terms of altitude, my tracking once again recorded much less than was officially stated.

From Koblenz, the 10th Rheinsteig stage first leads comfortably along the Rhine. Since the bridge is under construction, a small diversion has been set up through the village. Behind the …
