August 20, 2021,Rheinsteig von Kamp- Bornhofen bis Braubach. Tag 5

The penultimate stage of our tour went from Kamp-Bornhafen to Braubach, for the first time through a nature trail up with beautiful views of Boppard and Rhine loop, further through orchards into the forest with numerous streams and deep valleys. The path was up and down several times until we finally got to Marksburg have reached - a beautiful castle. …

From Braubach, a section of the Rheinsteig trail to Osterspai, along the Langhalspfad (Long Neck Trail) with numerous views, including a swing, a beer from the treasure chest, and Osterspai (the Osterspai ❤️). A truly beautiful stage of the Rheinsteig 👍

November 6, 2025,Etappe 10: Von Kamp-Bornhofen nach Braubach – Rheinsteig

Today's hike was quite challenging; the climbs were rather steep and the route somewhat longer. Parts of the paths were quite difficult, as they had been churned up by wild boars and were muddy, making them hard to walk on. But the stunning views over the Rhine, the beautiful castle at the end, and the friendly people more than made …

March 19, 2025,Rheinsteig Etappe 12 Von Kamp-Bornhofen nach Braubach

In perfect hiking weather, we tackled the next section of the Rheinsteig. The tour led from Kamp-Bornhofen to Braubach. After a very brief stop on the banks of the Rhine, we quickly climbed steeply up the mountain "to the heights." And then descended just as steeply back to Filsen. Near Osterspai, we repeatedly crossed the Langhals circular trail and the …

May 10, 2026,🥾🚌🚊Rheinsteig - Braubach - Marksburg - Osterspai

Another great tour today.
According to the plan, I should have needed 4:32 hours for the route.
Since I made a few extra detours, the route should rather have been 17 km, duration 5:50 hours.

April 7, 2023,Rheinsteig Etappe 5 Kamp-Bornhofen bis Burbach

In the unfortunately rainy weather, the route was a single muddy path and as a result, ascents and especially descents were sometimes even dangerous.
At the beginning it is still a beautiful hillside path, which later turns into forest and thus again the majority away from the Rhine.
No refreshments on the way.
