Long-distance hikes in Rhineland-Palatinate

On the Luxembourg stage of the European Long Distance Trail E3, you hike from Perl/Schengen via Remichen, Grevenmacher, Echternach, Vianden, Clervaux and Wiltz to Esch-sur-Sûre and along the Sûre to Martelange on the Belgian border.

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.

The Vier-Länder-Weg from Donnersberg to Wertheim is a varied long-distance hiking trail through the regions of Rheinhessen, Bergstra;e and Odenwald, the four federal states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Hessen, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg as well as the three wine-growing regions of Rheinhessen, Bergstra;e and Franconia. 

The European Long Distance Trail E8 runs from Dursey Head in Ireland across the sea to England and then crosses the European mainland almost diagonally to the Polish-Ukrainian border. It currently measures around 4390 km and is to be extended to the Black Sea in the future. In Germany, we walk along the E8 from the Dutch border near Nijmegen to Oberkappel in the German-Austrian border region.

Formerly signposted as the "Rheinhöhenweg", the route takes us on the left bank of the Rhine from Bonn's Godesburg Castle over the heights of the Middle Rhine Valley to Bingen and along the edge of the Rhine-Hessian hills via Mainz to our destination of Oppenheim am Rhein.

The Eifelsteig, designed according to the quality criteria of the German Hiking Seal, takes us from Aachen to Trier. Along the way, we cross the Eifel along beautiful and scenic paths.

This is the most spectacular and difficult stage with its fantastic views, natural paths and adventurous climbs. We wish you much pleasure!

Experience the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley with many views and vistas of the Rhine between the mouth of the Nahe in Bingen and Deutsches Eck in Koblenz.

The Hunsrück Heights Trail leads you over almost 170 km to the highest peaks of the low mountain range in the centre of Rhineland-Palatinate. From the banks of the Rhine in Boppard to Bernkastel-Kues on the Moselle.

The German section of the European long-distance hiking trail E1 runs well signposted once across Germany – from Flensburg in the north to Konstanz in the south.
