Long-distance hikes in Rengsdorf

On varied paths, the Rheinsteig leads through the narrow valleys of the Rhine. Between Bonn, Koblenz and Wiesbaden there are spectacular views of the culture and landscape of the Rhine valley.

This stage of the Rheinsteig takes us back towards the Rhine. In addition to the various cultural attractions in Bendorf-Sayn, the trail also runs right past the zoo in Neuwied.

The Rheinsteig takes us on a total of 23 stages from Wiesbaden to Bonn and thus runs through the three federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse. We experience an incomparable variety of landscapes, historical buildings and sites as well as many cultural highlights. We divide the 320 km into short daily stages, where we experience the beauty and diversity of the Rhine Valley anew every day.

On this stage of the Rheinsteig the trail cuts away from the Rhine to pass through the foothills of the Westerwald.

The Rheinsteig® trail runs on mostly narrow paths between Wiesbaden, Koblenz and Bonn along the right bank of the Rhine, passing forests, vineyards and spectacular views. Very well signposted and easy to get to, the trail invites you to take an ambitious long-distance hike or to break the trail up into shorter hikes – it is easy to reach by train, boat and car, and close to several airports. It is easy to join or leave the trail on the many marked paths which gives you great flexibility to plan the different stages of your hike.

Zwischen Wiesbaden, Koblenz und Bonn führt der Rheinsteig® rechtsrheinisch auf überwiegend schmalen Pfaden zu Wäldern, Weinbergen und grandiosen Ausblicken.
