View of Burg Maus and the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

A short, almost alpine path leads to a great resting place that you should not miss on the Rheinsteig tour because of the great panorama!

On the 14th stage of the Rheinsteig, you pass by Burg Maus. Unfortunately, it is only open for specific demonstrations. However, from this point, you have a beautiful view of the castle and the Rhine behind it.

A great hike in blazing heat 🌞🥵 Beautiful views of the Rhine almost along the entire ridge from St. Goarshausen to Wellmich. Plenty of rest stops. The Rabenacksteig is highly recommended. Even I, a little scaredy-cat with a certain fear of heights, had a blast 😄🥾 before starting the via ferrata... there's a Rewe supermarket below the start. In case …

Thomas & Andrea wanted to get to know our Rabenack via ferrata. So we made an appointment for today and I once put together a small Rheinsteig tour. We had great weather ☀️ and great views.

After yesterday's bike ride, today's itinerary included hiking. We set off from St. Goarshausen and followed the Rheinsteig towards Kestert. Shortly after the first climb, the Rabennacksteig awaited us. This via ferrata (not too difficult) leads to Rabenack, with magnificent views of the Rhine. We then continued on the Rheinsteig. There were many benches with beautiful views along the way. …

I'd overlooked this cool little via ferrata until now. In my opinion, it's definitely on par with the much more popular one on the left bank of the Rhine near Boppard. And it's much less busy. 🤩
