Hiking

It is no coincidence that the Upper Middle Rhine Valley is a World Heritage Site. Dramatically steep slopes characterize the landscape along the river, ancient oak forests cover the ridges of the hills. The circular hike leads through this exciting cultural landscape from viewpoint to viewpoint and from one oasis of silence to the next.

On your hike, take a look at the ground beneath your feet. The dark rock is unique and characteristic of the region. It stores heat and thus promotes the ripening of the grapes. Pack your backpack for several enjoyable breaks with picnics, because you will find benches at several points with stunning views over the Rhine Valley.

Nollig Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Nollig is the ruins of a habitable watchtower perched high on the mountain of the same name. The Rheinsteig leads right past the castle, the building itself is privately owned and cannot be visited. But even so, the Nollig is a beautiful photo motif.

November 8, 2023,Riesling Schleife (11):Lorcher Schiefer

My 11th of the 14 Riesling loops took me to the Lorcher Schiefer in Lorch today and has also become my favorite so far. Even if the duration of the journey by car, bus and ferry was somehow not in proportion to the length of the tour, it was definitely worth it. I already knew the two Wispertrails from Lorch …

November 1, 2024,Riesling Schleife Lorcher Schiefer 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🍁🍂

Over the long weekend, I went to Lorch in the Rheingau with my girlfriend @Sabine. We are staying in the "Altes Schulhaus", a cozy hotel in which many relics from school days are still on display 😊.
The tour leads over partly narrow trails through the forest, with steep uphill sections 😅. We chose the right direction, because I wouldn't …

October 28, 2023,Rieslingschleife 🍇 Lorcher Schiefer 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️

Silke & @Ina had arranged to go hiking today. Since Silke was still at work in the morning, it had to be "close by" and Ina wanted to end up in "Sunny's Cafè" in Lorch. The Lorcher Schiefer Riesling loop was ideal.
We all want to run the Riesling loops and so Frank was there too.
But we didn't start …

Beautiful round tour with great views! Shortly before Nollig Castle there is a nice "single bench", or directly at the castle at the "most beautiful wine view" benches with a table for picnicking! Both places offer a great view!

This Riesling loop starts from the car park on the banks of the Rhine. There is a fee for parking. Don't calculate the parking time too tightly, I had two hours without much of a break - perfect.
Compared to most other Riesling loops, there is a longer climb with a few meters of elevation, small trails and off-grid sections. …

October 8, 2024,Riesling Schleife Lorcher Schiefer

What is demanded of the winegrowers can be felt in the first steep climb up to the most beautiful view of the vineyards. The Rhine Valley panorama is breathtakingly beautiful. The path circles around the Nollig castle ruins and turns north towards the Wispertaunus. Gnarled oak forests on slate soil dominate the next few kilometers until the path leads into …

At the breakfast table I asked myself whether I had to do what I wanted to do again today. 😇
Clear cell phone announcement 🌤 ➡️ yessss....
From Flörsheim am Main to Lorch am Rhein there are a total of 14 Riesling loops, 4 km to 8 km long. The opening was on June 1st, 2023. So still very young. …
