In the afternoon of Holy Saturday, drove to the small, inconspicuous village of Hammerstein on the Rhine. On the rock spur once stood the oldest castle complex on the Middle Rhine; it was even an imperial castle. We parked in Dorfstraße by the church. At the end of Dorfstraße, where the hike branches into the forest, there is also a hiking parking lot. A great path spirals up to a Rhine viewpoint, then goes through gnarled oak forests on the rocky ridge (harmless) and on a forest road to the next shelter with a wide view and finally down to the castle ruins and then a small section of the Rhine trail! A wonderful nature and Rhine valley experience!
