Beautiful circular route!

March 29, 2025,Katharinaweg: Brohl-Lützing

A very beautiful trail, offering a wide variety of nature and a challenging climb. It includes two challenging climbs, each rewarded with a wonderful view. There are perfect rest stops along the way just before and after the quarry. A little later, in the wooded area toward the end of the trail, you can also take a break. During the …

August 14, 2023,Darum ist es am Rhein so schön! Der Katharinaweg von Brohl Lützing

Why is it so beautiful on the Rhine?
I wanted to find out for myself and drove to Brohl Lützing to walk the Katharinaweg from there. Seen here on Komoot…..
It went along the Rhine for a short while, under the railway tracks and the expressway, to reach a narrow, alpine path shortly afterwards, the Katharinaweg. It led steeply uphill, …

April 13, 2025,Katharinaweg: Ambitionierte Runde von Brohl aus

Often narrow and rocky, almost alpine trails. Stay up on the way back in Brohl; the descent to the Rhine, although signposted, isn't worth it.

Nice stop at the "Lucencia" restaurant in Niederlützingen; limited selection, but excellent cake with coffee! 🤗

On the Tuesday after Pentecost I did a tour that my wife found.

The "Katharinaweg Brohl-Lützing", a loop of almost 16km, made just for me, with a stop at a great vantage point that I've been seeing on the way home from work for 8 years.

February 27, 2022,Katharinaweg bei Brohl-Lützing

Beautiful round tour, especially the sections on the Rheinburgenweg make the hiker's heart beat faster.
The highlight is certainly the "Reutersley" vantage point, but I was also very impressed by the "Donkey Steps" and the old quarry at the Hohe Buche volcano.
