The stage on the Rheinsteig crosses the "Freistaat Flaschenhals" and offers great views over the Rhine again, which, however, have to be earned hard once more. The very steep ascents and descents are absent this time or can be bypassed.

    Top Wanderweg, wenn auch noch nicht ausgeschildert. Klasse Fernsichten und schöne Ausblicke auf Oberwesel und Kaub mit den Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Burg Kaub, -Pfalzengrafenstein etc.. Das Stück Rheinsteig, welches der Rundweg beinhaltet, empfinde ich als einen der schönsten Abschnitte.

    Eine wunderschöne Tour. Der Bergbau-Teil bis zur Burg Gutenfels Spaß gemacht. Der anschließende Panoramaweg bot tolle Aussichten. Ab dem Sportplatz war es dann, bis wir wieder den Rhein sehen konnten, etwas zäh. Am Rhein entlang nahm die Tour wieder stark Fahrt auf.  Insgesamt fanden wir die Runde besser als Dörscheid 1, die wir auch gut fanden. Wir waren an einem Donnerstag unterwegs. Wir sind wenigen anderen Wanderern begegnet und das tatsächlich nur auf dem Stück zwischen Sportplatz und Rhein.  Tolle Pfade und tolle Burgen. Es hat zwar immer mal wieder leicht geregnet, aber trotzdem waren die Aussichten super. Vielen Dank für die tolle Tour 👍

    Toller und sehr abwechslungsreicher Wanderweg, der aufgrund des Höhenprofils recht schwierig in der Mitte wird. Die Landschaft und die Aussichten auf den Rhein sind toll.

    Ostersonntag zu Corona-Zeiten - ein Traum von Wanderung, weil die Natur in voller Blüte und sehr, sehr wenig Menschen unterwegs waren. Die Aussichten sind wunderbar. Die kleinen Kletterpassagen machen Spaß.

    Alles in allem eine wunderschöne Tour, die absolut umgehauen hat. Stellenweise ein paar Meter Landstraße zu viel, aber das ist Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Wunderbare Fernblicke, Vater Rhein und viele Auf- und Ab's versüßen einem die Tour ungemein.
