November 2, 2025,Osterspaier Langhalsweg im Herbst 🖤
This morning it was really hard to leave my campsite with its fantastic view of the Rhine, but the Langhalsweg trail was waiting for me in the next village.

In 2024, this trail was voted Germany's most beautiful hiking trail, and it's been on my hiking list ever since.

We meet with 12 people at the Langhansweg hiking car park in the middle of Osterspai.
The great views along the way often make us stop and admire both the beautiful landscape and the awakening nature. Intensive conversations after the long winter break also mean that it becomes more of a "leisurely stroll" than a hike. At our final meal …

A dreamy tour

Deservingly the winner of Germany's most beautiful hiking trail 2024.
Very well-maintained, well-signposted, and beautifully designed.


Gorgeous views, numerous information boards, charming sayings on slate hearts, and well-maintained and beautifully designed rest areas.

The entire trail is harmonious – there's always something to admire. The time and the kilometers just fly by.

Beautiful views of the Middle Rhine Valley, the Marxburg and the 3 Peaks, round off the trip. Only in the last third should people with a head for heights have …

This beautiful hiking trail is very well signposted. We parked the car down by the Rhine at the snack bar and from there followed the signs through the town to the start of the Langhalsweg. Eight kilometers of narrow forest paths and great views of the Rhine. ☀️🥾

A very beautiful and varied hike, which was not for nothing voted one of the most beautiful hiking trails of 2024. A bit short, but perfectly suited for a Sunday break.
