Hiking

This dream trail impresses with a wonderful mixture of nature, views and history. It starts in Rhens, which you can also reach by train. It is worth exploring the picturesque old town before or after your hike. You will then climb up to the famous Königsstuhl monument, where the kings of the Middle Ages once swore their oath of loyalty. Enjoy the wonderful view over the Rhine and then hike to the Lützelforst lookout point.

This dream trail takes you through an open orchard landscape to the St. Antonius Chapel before you enter the Mühlental. The next lookout point is already waiting for you with the Kriesenkopf - your gaze will wander to the Hunsrück and Taunus. To get back to Rhens, follow the tour into the forest, where the romantic "Wolfsdelle" sunken road awaits you. You pass the small Nikolaus Chapel and reach your starting point again along the Mühlbach.

King's Chair of Rhens

Highlight • Monument

Even if the King's Chair is not in its original location, it still provides an entertaining introduction to the German coronation system from the Middle Ages to modern times. You also get a fantastic view of the Rhine Valley. It can be reached via the Rhine Castle Trail from Koblenz to Rhens or the Wolfsdelle Dream Trail. In both cases you have to leave the hiking trail for a short time.

St. Antonius Chapel Rhens

Highlight • Religious Site

Lovingly designed St. Anthony's Chapel. There are also places to sit, so you can rest and maybe say a little prayer.

Historic Old Town of Rhens

Highlight • Historical Site

I came to Rhens via the RheinBurgenWeg. Stage Koblenz-Rhens. You enter the Viehtor and find yourself in the old town with its impressive medieval city walls, old half-timbered houses and the remains of medieval fortification towers. Very beautiful!

October 25, 2022,Rhein 🏞 - Traumpfad "Wolfsdelle"

The days are getting shorter and so are the 🥾🥾 tours. Fortunately, there are dream paths where brevity is the spice. 🤩
The "Wolfsdelle" circular tour begins in the attractive center of Rhens am Rhein. A detour to the Königsstuhl is an absolute must. In the Middle Ages, the electors met here to elect the German king. 🤴

I met up with Bettina and @Volker Bless in Rhens for this dream hike. The weather couldn't have been better and the tour itself is very varied. However, we recommend changing the direction of your walk. Then the views over the Rhine are the highlight at the end.
I've added 2 more photos from Rhens, but the dream path doesn't …

It was a bit foggy today, with some snowfall. The views of the Rhine were therefore somewhat limited. Our second Dream Trail, and again very well signposted. A tour bus was just arriving at the Königstuhl. Next time, we would do the hike in reverse, clockwise, and have a picnic at the Königstuhl. We had a very pleasant time at …

From Rhens train station, through the beautiful, old half-timbered houses, some dating back to the 17th century, through the Viehtor gate to the starting point at Wolfsdelle. Climb with a detour to the Kaiserstuhl.
