We cycled from Sankt Johann to Neu-Bamberg in perfect weather, followed by this lovely hike. Afterward, we cycled through the forest to Bad Münster am Stein and returned via Bad Kreuznach.

"Let's go up the Eichelberch through fields and forests and meadows and when we do, how are we smoking the rivers, then we can look out and look at the beautiful palace like nobody else."

The Hiwweltour Eichelberg leads to the Eichelberg, which is covered with pine and oak trees - the "roof of Rheinhessen" - and through the unspoilt nature of Rheinhessen Switzerland and is therefore also called "Rheinhessen summit happiness".

The tour presents an attractive mixture of varied nature and an extensive meadow and vineyard landscape. On pleasant paths with many rest stops …

The Hiwweltour Eichelberg was on my agenda today. You could extend the tour a bit by running a loop through our Neu-Bamberg. Then it would certainly be interesting. So there are no big highlights on the tour. However, the signage is exemplary. The table of wine could be better taken care of

To complete our Hiwweltour collection, we hiked the Hiwweltour Eichelberg today. The first few kilometers were through beautiful, shady forest terrain at a crisp 30 degrees. However, the joy was greatly spoiled by the huge number of mosquitoes and other flying creatures. In the open terrain and in the vineyards, it was bearable, but very warm. You can't have everything. …

Today, I decided on a spur-of-the-moment hike with my sweetheart. Beautiful, varied trails through forests and vineyards, with the occasional climb, left us with damp shirts in the sweltering temperatures. We thoroughly enjoyed the views and the final stop in our home region (Russler Winery), as well as the entire hike.
