The hike leads from Ingelheim via Groß-Winternheim, Schwabenheim, Elsheim, Nieder-Olm, Sörgenloch, Hahnheimer Bruch, Wahlheimer Hof, and Hahnheim to Selzen. Except in Ingelheim, where the route starts at the train station, it passes by towns or just skirts their edges.
There are places to stop for refreshments in Groß-Winternheim, Schwabenheim, and Elsheim without deviating much from our hiking route. For Nieder-Olm, a detour of about one to two kilometers would be necessary; there are also some places to eat there. In Hahnheim and Selzen, there are a few refreshment options depending on the season.
There are no major elevation gains in the Selz valley, nor any waterfalls or rock domes. However, throughout the entire Selz valley, there are many wetland and nature conservation areas. The hike partly follows the Selztal bike route, which runs from the mouth of the Selz into the Rhine at Ingelheim to the source of the Selz near Orbis.
