July 25, 2025,Rhein: Loreley Extratour - Premium-Rundweg am Rheinsteig

Today we took advantage of a day off and the beautiful weather to take a longer walk on the Loreley plateau. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for the interesting "Myth of the Loreley" exhibition on the Loreley rock. From the Loreley, we descended to St. Goarshausen, before continuing our steep hike uphill. A longer stretch was along the Rheinsteig trail, …

Today we went to the other side of the Rhine on the approximately 16 km long Loreley Extratour. The official starting point is on the Loreley, but since we took the ferry across, we started in St. Goarshausen.
