Here is a nice rest area with a breathtaking view of the Rhine Valley. Several benches and an open shelter invite you to linger. This is where the Oelsbergsteig starts and ends.

This dream loop offers a wonderful view of the UNESCO World Heritage "Upper Middle Rhine Valley" from many points.

A highlight of this tour right at the start is the observation tower on the Spitzen Stein, where you get an immediate overview of what awaits you on this hike.

A very beautiful and varied hike, where you are rewarded with a great view over the Middle Rhine Valley and the Loreley.
With summer temperatures and great weather, it was an all-round successful trip.

So here I have to say very clearly that it was …
