View of the Rhine Valley from the Oelsbergsteig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Plenty of safeguards, but not absolutely necessary. Areas with high ladders can be bypassed.

Suitable for normal hikers and children. Sturdy shoes are recommended. From Oberwesel after the climb there is a viewing and picnic area.

Seven Virgins Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sieben-Jungfrauen-Blick is located below the Günderodehaus. Actually, it cannot be separated from the Günderodehaus. Very nice. From there you can go straight down to the town of Oberwesel.

November 25, 2023,Wo das Camperherz uns hinführt-Traumaussicht Loreley Felsen-Runde von Campingplatz Loreleyblick

We thought for a long time about where our first trip with the camper should take us. The weather wasn't particularly good and only a few campsites were still open at this time. In the end we chose St. Goar, opposite the Loreley Rock. It's fantastically beautiful here and the weather was pretty good too. The crowning conclusion of the …

October 18, 2025,🏰 Rheinburgenweg Etappe 08, St. Goar - Oberwesel 🍁💛

Of course, the train journey took longer than planned. I quickly dropped off my luggage at the hotel in Oberwesel, took the train back to St. Goar, and at just after 11 a.m., I was finally on the slopes. It's a good thing I had the foresight to plan only a short stage for today! And I'll enjoy it in …

A lovely mix of moderate climbing, hiking on a plateaus, past some small vineyards, climbing up and down the rocks using ladders and metal cables, an old and long city wall and ending past a castle high on the hill.

May 1, 2023,St.Goar nach Oberwesel

A nice tour, but there are too many different hiking trails/paths with too many signs in the last third.

Feet are sore. Despite the manageable distance, it's challenging. Finishes at the Lanius-Knaap winery near the train station. Very tasty!

August 16, 2025,Sankt Goar Tag 4: Wanderung St. Goar - Oberwesel - St. Goar🥾👩🏼⛅️⛰️🏰👀🌳🏛️🍷🛣️💦🌭🥵

After two days in the saddle, today was a hike for us.
We headed from St. Goar past the wishing well up the Rhine Castle Trail with beautiful views of the Rhine and the Loreley rock.
The first rest stop after the strenuous climb at Maria Ruh was quite chilly due to the clouds and wind of the past few …

The "Rheinburgenweg" - we covered just under 60 kilometers and almost 1800 meters of altitude in 4 days over Easter - with almost perfect hiking weather and an exceptionally beautiful route.

August 12, 2022,Oberwesel 👣 auf dem Welt-Erbe-Steig nach Sankt Goar

Today was another 9 euro adventure day! The DB app indicated a punctual departure for 10:40 a.m. from the MRB, so quickly down to the station. When we got there, the announcement was 10 minutes late, followed by 25, 40 and 60 minutes late! If you've had to wait that long, then you should be happy when the 🚂 train …
