For this hike in the crisis, this time we went again to the Rhine in the Rheingau to Lorchhausen in the very west of Hesse. Lorchhausen, like many other villages and towns on the Rhine, is characterized by viticulture and can look back on centuries of history. On this hike we started in the middle of Lorchhausen and, as always, turned left along an approximately 10 km long circular path, first up the slope and later over fields, meadows and forests back to the Rhine. The hike took place in October 2020 and was excellent to walk despite the slowly decreasing temperatures.

We haven’t been around the Rhine so often, so this time we took a little trip to Ruedesheim am Rhein. Ruedesheim is a tourist attraction because of its picturesque landscape in the middle of vineyards on the Rhine.
Most people took a cable car up to the Niederwalddenkmal, from where you have a unique view over the Rhine. However, we wanted to walk and took the path on foot through the countless wine fields to the St Hildegard Abbey. From there we finally walked to the Niederwalddenkmal.
