Himmelsleiter Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A great, narrow path with quite an uphill or downhill gradient. Surefootedness is essential. Sometimes the ground is also quite slippery. But it's worth it.

September 2, 2022,RLP- Brohl-Lützing: Himmelsleiterweg -220902FK

Today I went on a tour with @Fernanda 3 cafe 👵 🫖🥾🐈🦮 in Rhineland-Palatinate on the Rhine. From Brohl-Lützing the sky ladder tour started at the Brohl port. It's a great tour. Anyone who is a fan of farsightedness and long-distance views should definitely do this tour. The many views of the Rhine, Brohltal, Brohleck Castle and towards the Eifel …

And a …

March 2, 2024,Himmelsleiterweg Brohl- Lützing

The Himmelsleiterweg starts directly on the Rhine bank promenade in Brohl-Lützing and runs along the Rhine for a short distance before going through the town, a secluded stretch along the Brohlbach and finally uphill. A little later you reach the impressive Leylerkopf scoria volcano. The path through the former lava pit leads to Nieder-Lützingen and from there back towards the …

Super nice route on the Himmelsleiter path.
It's very varied and goes over narrow, steep paths, through green forests, and past meadows. Incredible views of the beautiful Rhine included. There are also lots of benches along the way.

At the starting point there is a car park and also a small beer garden/restaurant on the Rhine for refreshments after the …

March 19, 2022,🥾Himmelsleiterweg ...mit Rückweg gebucht😜😇

The Himmelsleiterweg - really beautiful and very varied. Parking lot right on the Rhine, great views, great picnic area at the Steinbergkopf... and as a joker for me: sooo nice German signs: parking regulations in the middle of the forest, lunch break on the soccer field🤣🤣🤣. Life is so beautiful. This tour will definitely be available again in summer with …
