Försterweg Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

That was a rather disappointing hike for once: actually cool trails lead for almost kilometers through forests and valleys without any prospects and therefore mostly in the shade. Only at the very end by the vineyards do you have a view of the Rhine Valley.
From this point of view, this tour is not recommended, at most in March before …
