Forest and wine, sporty ascents and descents, wonderful views such as Goethe point, Wolfslei or Gabelstein, lonely valley cuts. Castles rise high above the slope in Balduinstein and Laurenburg – hiking heart, what more do you want? The stage is quite sporty, as several climbs await. So reduce speed and go slowly. Over rocks, partly secured with cables, you climb along a ridge. A head for heights and sure-footedness are necessary, but there is also an easy (without climbing) alternative.
