A beautiful round that allows great views of the Rhine, Boppard and the Hunsrückbahn. 🤩
The Hunsrückbahn runs on a very steep route between Boppard and Emmelshausen, passing through several tunnels and crossing a viaduct.

A very, very beautiful hike. There's a bench at each viewpoint. It's best to check parking beforehand; the first available spot costs €6 per day.
