A very beautiful and varied hike with some steep ascents and descents. The Zeppelin view is the highlight.

By train to Remagen along the Rhine to Kripp, since the passenger ferry in Remagen only runs in the morning and from 1 p.m., i.e. from Kripp to Linz. Then the Rheinsteig to Erpel and the ferry back to Remagen. A nice challenging route. Always up and down. It's worth it.

A very varied tour with lots …
