For anyone interested: The Rheinsteig behind the "God's Eye" has been cleared of fallen trees etc. and is therefore freely accessible again.

April 29, 2026,Von Unkel nach Bad Honnef – Rheinsteig, Etappe 3, Teil 2

Last year I had to break off the third stage of the Rheinsteig from Linz to Bad Honnef in Unkel due to knee problems. A certain susceptibility to injury is probably the price you have to pay when God has equipped you with a high-performance body...
Today I caught up on the remaining section from Unkel to Bad Honnef quite …

My training route, mostly on the Rheinsteig, especially because there is a continuous uphill climb of approx. 4 km to the "Auge Gottes" wayside shrine. The path is very beautiful and especially recommended in hot summer months due to the dense forestation. You can reward yourself in Unkel in the very cozy wine tavern "Im Lämmlein": im-laemmlein.de

April 20, 2024,Rheinsteig 3.Etappe von Bad Honnef nach Unkel

Since we were determined to complete the third stage today, the bad weather didn't deter us. However, we only hiked as far as Unkel.
After Hasenhardt, we reached the highest point and then unnoticed changed from NRW to RLP. Shortly afterwards, we found ourselves at a forest crossroads with a wayside chapel and benches, over which the painted "Eye of …

October 20, 2024,Unkel, Bad Honnef via Rheinsteig, Insel Grafenwerth

The Rheinsteig is beautifully laid out and varied.
Bad Honnef is generously equipped with restaurants and retail outlets and meets all the requirements of a medium-sized town.
Grafenwerth has well-maintained and diverse parks and leisure facilities.
The huge transformers from the Hitachi Energy plant (formerly ABB) that are ready for removal are very impressive.

July 23, 2022,Schattig über schmale Pfade - Bad Honnef - Unkel - Bad Honnef

Summer in the Rhineland and still hiking at a relaxed pace along beautiful paths. That makes sense and happy. From Bad Honnef train station, follow the course of a stream uphill, past the youth hostel and into the forest. Only sniffed the Rheinsteig for a short time and then ... unmarked right into the green. The Rheinsteig can be found …
