Did you know you can find many of Germany’s most beautiful hiking trails in Rhineland-Palatinate? They lie like fine gold chains along the vineyard terraces, through the idyllic river valleys of the Rhine, Moselle, Nahe, Saar and Lahn, across huge forest areas and amazing volcanic scenery, past mystical fortresses and castles. Some have the highest commendation a hiking trail can receive in Germany and Europe. Sounds like an excellent holiday, doesn’t it?
Whether you simply want to enjoy nature and culture or climb to more challenging heights, the fantastic premium hiking regions of our state have many treasures waiting for you to discover. The German Hiking Institute has given awards to long-distance hiking trails and fabulous loops based on certain criteria. The quality of experience on the hiking trails and signage were evaluated among other factors. The long-distance trails of Rheinsteig, Eifelsteig, Saar-Hunsrück-Steig and Westerwaldsteig are very popular. Some of them are included among the Top Trails of Germany and are therefore officially cited as the most beautiful in the country. The Palatinate’s highly rated trails of Pfälzer Höhenweg, Pfälzer Weinsteig, and Pfälzer Waldpfad also make dreams come true for hikers of all ages. If you like wild romantic scenery, you’ll certainly enjoy the spectacular walks. The sights in the Eifel, the Westerwald and the Hunsrück can also be reached very easily on foot on the numerous certified loop trails. Certified quality hosts of Wanderbares Deutschland (Hiking Germany) will invite you to stop for a well-earned break.
