DAY 9
@rheinburgenweg. #Hirzenach > Sankt Goar (Camping Loreleyblick). 16km, +450m. Starting the day with a good breakfast at the cozy 50s style hotel and a trainride to Hirzenach. After a good climb I reached a plateau with fields and orchards. As yesterday, today proved to be a stage with a lot of variety and plenty of panoramic views. After the Rheinfels Hütte the path becomes quite narrow with a steep drop on one side. As someone with a fear of heights this wasn't my favourite part, but the views made up for it. After the Werlauer Pilz outlook, the Rheinfels Burg comes in sights, but from there it takes another good 2km and a decent climb to actually get to the castle, all the while the view on the castle that appears so near works as a teaser 😅. The castle is worth the visit and the Rheinterrassen of the restaurant is the perfect location for a tea break with view on the Rhine. From here it's another 3km, past the
#Loreley outlook and some climbing and descending to get to the campsite where I've claimed my spot ánd a small hut by hanging my socks to dry 😆🧦🧦. September 2023.
