January 18, 2024,Riesling Schleife - Terroir? Terroir!

Today another “Riesling loop” was tackled. The path to the Scharfenstein castle ruins is now passable again, as it was blocked for a while by uprooted trees. Basically, this round is quite undemanding. However, with the current snowfall, the narrow path to the castle ruins is not always easy to see in some places and is not secured.
Still a …

October 17, 2023,Riesling Schleife (2): Terroir? Terroir!

Today I hiked my first 2 of the 14 Rheingau Riesling loops. The “all-rounder Riesling” and “Terroir!Terroir?” The relatively new routes (June 2023) of the Riesling loops are between 4 and 8 km long, too short for our weekend tours, but ideal for doing alone during the week.
First I went to Martinsthal on the all-rounder circuit and then by …

November 12, 2023,Rieslingschleife 🍇 Terroir? Terroir! 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

We did this short loop today after the Riesling loop "Rhine and Vines" in Walluf. So we have now completed half of the 14 Riesling loops.
We only found the starting board at the end of the tour; it is in front of the Kiedrich community center behind the parking lot on Sonnenlandstrasse.
This Riesling loop also had beautiful views …

October 26, 2023,Riesling Schleife - Kiedrich 🍇 "Terroir? Terroir!"

The Basilica Minor St.Valentinus is particularly worth seeing. A work of art for all the senses in the Gothic style. Another cross, …

November 13, 2025,Riesling Schleife Terroir? Terroir!….oder kurz aber schön!

Before I'm back to running for others tomorrow, a quick Riesling loop today!

Winter is supposed to come, at least according to the German Weather Service (DWD), and they're never wrong! So, one last run today before two days off are over and the madness beckons tomorrow.

April 7, 2024,# SH24.027 | Rheingau Short Hikes: Kiedricher Weinsteig mit Start im Café

We actually just wanted to try out a café and stretch our legs.

But since the whole place was strangely packed with people, it aroused our curiosity as to what was going on there...so immediately afterwards we went for a little walk around one of the (many) most beautiful places in the Rheingau on the not entirely serious Kiedricher Weinsteig...more …
