About Rheinsteig
TheRheinsteigfollows a mainly elevated path along the right (east) bank of the Middle Rhine River in Germany. Its 320 -km (200-mile) route stretches fromWiesbaden(Schloss Biebrich) toBonn(market place). Although it goes through one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, as it follows tracks away from the river it provides you with spectacular views of the Rhine and many castles without all the crowds of people. The route a number of times leaves the steep sides of the valley to venture into hills to the east (and north at the southern end of the walk) to provide beautiful walks though natural woodland. The path was opened on 8 September 2005, and has had a few minor route changes since then. The creation of the Rheinsteig was a joint project of the states ofNorth Rhine-Westph
