    In the romantic Rhine side valley near Oberdiebach is the historic border between the Electoral Palatinate and Electoral Mainz. Every evening, this border was walked along with a bell. Today, hikers find vineyards on the route where Riesling has been cultivated for more than half a millennium.

    Safety information

    General safety instructions :
    • Wear weather-appropriate, practical clothing that protects you from cold and wet or heat and sun.
    • Plan your stages with adequate breaks and use your strength sparingly.
    • Bring enough fluids. There are not always places to stop for food and drink.
    • Please wear suitable hiking boots that provide sufficient support even on slippery and steep or rocky and uneven paths.
    • If you think certain path sections are not passable for you, you should avoid them. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections.
    • Especially in autumn, note that fallen leaves can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. You should expect such path impairments when hiking.
    • Steep and clearly dangerous spots are of course secured with railings or ropes. Please treat these safety measures accordingly. Railings are meant as fall protection, not as climbing frames or observation towers. Please treat these safety measures accordingly.
