To give new visitors a first impression of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a boat trip is always best. Like pearls on a string, they pass by, the well-known wine villages, castles and palaces, the steep vineyards and impressive rock formations. Thanks to the hop-on-hop-off offer from KD, there was enough

The focal point of our German-French friendship meeting was the picturesque wine town of Bacharach on the left bank of the Rhine. From here, in the following days, we went on to all sorts of activities related to nature, culture, and culinary delights in the Middle Rhine region. To kick things off (and

Today, in contrast to previous tours, the weather was finally really good for hiking again, no scorching heat, no thundery humidity, but simply clear forest air, wonderfully fragrant after the night's rain, and a refreshing breeze at the summit.
The hiking loop itself was once again planned based on an

Actually, a longer hike was on the agenda today, but once we arrived in the Rhön, the air was so muggy and thundery that a tour through forest and field was immediately out of the question. How fortunate, then, that besides the "Extratour Museumstour Fladungen" there is also the option of a real museum

Auf dieser Etappe wird der Riedweg die Oberrheinische Tiefebene verlassen und in südöstlicher Richtung in den Kraichgau führen. Somit ändert sich auch die Topographie grundlegend und die ersten echten Höhenmeter – bisher kamen sie fast nur durch Straßen- und Eisenbahnbrücken zusammen – stehen an.

Was tun, wenn man eigentlich wandern gehen will, das Regenradar jedoch mit jedem fünfminütigen Update einen anderen Schauer mit einer Gewitterzelle füllt und die Luftfeuchtigkeit so hoch ist, dass selbst Fische – wären sie denn an Land – eine echte Überlebenschance hätten?

The 5th stage of our Usa trail brought us from Ober-Mörlen to the center of the spa parks in Bad Nauheim. Fortunately, there was more shade than sun on the route, otherwise we would certainly have melted and flowed into the Usa😉. Unfortunately, there is currently extensive renovation going on around

Like all Hiwwel tours that do their rounds in Rheinhessen, this one, with its start and end point in Tiefenthal, is also a real feast for the eyes when it comes to great views of the Rhenish-Hessian hilly landscape. However, the claim – as stated on the official website of the tour – that this tour is

Although there are restaurants in Maulbronn and also in the monastery complex itself, we chose the Melanchthon town of Bretten with its picturesque old town center for refreshments....highly recommended!

The now traditional spring excursion to UNESCO World Heritage brought us to Maulbronn on Whit Saturday. The founding of this Cistercian monastery dates back to 1147, when the monks established an abbey named Mulenbrunnen at this location in the Salzbachtal valley. A legend has the following to report

Magnificent deciduous forests, a more than 800-year-old Taunus town, but above all wonderful views from the heights above the Weil valley have made this little tour a real pleasure trip. Those who don't know Weilmünster yet should take a little more time to visit the town center, but don't waste too

The Roman bath in Badenweiler was probably built at the beginning of the 2nd century AD and is today considered the most important known Roman bath north of the Alps.

Laufenburg, which once existed as a town, was first mentioned in documents in 1173 as a donation from the monastery of Bad Säckingen to the Habsburgs. In the Peace of Lunéville, Napoleon forced the separation of the left-bank territories from the Habsburg Empire, and from then on the town was divided

The only castle in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley that was never destroyed is Marksburg Castle. The castle can only be visited as part of a guided tour, which is really worthwhile. Today, the castle is the seat of the German Castle Association (Deutsche Burgenvereinigung), and that in the truest sense
