Arrive at your holiday destination and head straight for a great hike. The Ruppertsklamm offers an alpine hiking experience for just under 1.5 km. This section is part of the Rheinsteig premium hiking trail. Sturdy footwear is essential 😉

Finally, on the way home from Bad Ems, we took a small detour towards Koblenz and hiked a loop through the Ruppertsklamm.
