Großmördersnack Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The big killer snack is a great way to sneak around, just be careful, because the rocks of the Rosselhalde are rather dizzy and the gaps are bottomless.
On the rock spur itself you have a great view, but there are no hedges, so be careful and no foolhardy climbing!

Arboretum in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley

Highlight • Forest

The tree nursery is a bit old. Unfortunately, it is not entirely clear to us why they are trying to plant non-native trees here on the Middle Rhine. It looks as if only the native ones make it. But big praise to the forestry department here. Everything is immediately signposted and explained if something is not as expected.

Parking Area at the Damscheid Nature Trail

Highlight • Parking

This small car park is ideal for a visit to the educational forest trail, but also as a starting point for the Aldegundis, Fichte and Hohenstein hiking trails.

Vogelsnack Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

Imposing out of the forest protruding rock nose with summit cross.
A secured by railing rest area offers a great view, a guest book and a small self-service wine store (was unfortunately empty).

Hohenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful single trail leads over the 505m high Hohenstein. In addition to an imposing, towering quartzite rock, 3 resting benches (partly weathered) along the way offer a resting place.

I really liked this dream bow. The enchanted forest, the various rock formations and a fairly high proportion of paths. If you continue a little further in the direction of Damscheid, you will come to a vineyard swing. Very lovingly created this dream bow, which can definitely compete with its big brothers.

Whatever happened to the dream loop? Part of the trail is now gravel road, on which eight people could walk abreast in formation. On such a short tour, this is extremely noticeable, and even the single trails in between can't hide it.

Normally, the "loops" are the little, harmless sisters of the dream loops, ideal for families and prams. So you can safely leave the prams here, and the route is not "suitable for walking frames" either 😉. But the round is peppered with dream views, fantastic paths and many sights. That was really fun. So much so that it took me …

Another hike for today.
Shady forest, narrow paths, soft forest floor, abundant blueberry bushes, summit cross, summit register, rocky ascending paths through the forest to Cuckoo's Snack, Bird's Snack, Hohenstein, Little Murderer's Snack, Big Murderer's Snack, rocks (their size can't really be imagined), panoramic views...

Today we did the Traumschleifchen Kuckucksnack above Oberwesel in fantastic weather.
It was really a lot of fun on a tour with a great route on many great, secluded paths. Thanks to the path operators for that😻
There were also plenty of views and the highlights in the form of the rocks also offer small optional climbing sections if you …
