Ruppertsklam.
In order to avoid the too many other hikers who squeeze their way through the gorge every day, I started at 6.00 a.m.
Is the gorge worth it?
Yes and no!
It's fun to hike through it, but since it's only about 1300m long, this happened relatively quickly!
The further path leads through beautiful forest, but there are almost …

Today, tour number 2 in the gorge—a bit of a run-up, then a steep climb in the gorge—water was minimal—there's no rain. I followed the Lahnhöhenweg (yesterday was the Romantic Route) with more challenging terrain. I'm exhausted. (57 highlights)

Used the remaining vacation day wisely 😉
Except for the access road and a section of Panzerstraße at Schmidtenhöhe, it only went through the forest. A great 🥾🥾 with the Ruppertsklamm as a highlight.

Traditionally, we meet on the long Father's Day weekend to go hiking without a handcart. The meeting point and "base camp" is a location that is as conveniently located as possible and has the potential for hiking tours. This year it's Bad Ems in the Lahntal: A very good choice, because you can walk along the Lahnhöhenweg once to the …

The Lahn hiking trail and in particular the final part to the mouth of the Lahn is almost an "old acquaintance",
especially since before Lahnstein the route is almost identical to the Rheinsteig.

Already cold and wet in the morning and the forecast is for rain in the afternoon, 🙁🌧☂
With these framework conditions, we "fresh air fanatics" spontaneously resorted …

It was a nice and relatively easy tour. The descent through the Ruppertsklamm rounded off the trail. Secured by ropes, the descent can be classified as suitable for people over 60. However, beware of heavy rain. Luckily we had nice weather.
