Today, in typical April weather, I did a little walk on the Schnakenpfad in Meißenheim; it was still nice to walk.

Especially now in spring, the hikes through the Rheinauen are particularly beautiful.
The Schnakenpfad is a beautiful round with many narrow paths.
Without the gnats clear recommendation.
Not with the gnats.😅

Very nice tour along the Rhine and Old Rhine through the floodplain forest. Unfortunately, the signage could be a bit better, there are no signs at some crossroads, so it is advisable to look at the route again before starting the tour or to walk with a sat nav.

A beautiful tour through idyllic meadowland, still free of pests, with lively birdsong and trees with delicate green leaves.
Unfortunately, after I replanned a short section, Komoot completely deleted the return route, and the signage didn't help me either, so I may have missed something 😬
