Location

In the forest between Rheinbay and Weiler at the slope of the Rhine.

Participants

Plans

I'll drive to Neuwied to visit my mother tomorrow, and with a detour of just 9 KM I can reach Rheinbay. From there it's only 1,5 KM to walk to the hash. Who am I to let such an opportunity slip? I hope to be there around 2 o'clock.

Expedition

I left home a little bit later than expected, and so I had no time to look for the route guidance system. So I had some difficulties to find Rheinbay at all. But after one very short detour and several insecurities I arrived at the start point of todays walking-tour: I parked the car next to the cemetery and walked into the field. After a short while I reached a ditch and walked along for a while, just 10 m above it. When another ditch came in from the other side the path went down to water level and I crossed a small bridge. Now I had to climb along a small path through the slope of the valley. The hashpoint was easy accessible located exactly at the top of the slope. I took some photos, left a small mark and returned to the former mentioned bridge. From there I continued my way through the valley. After a while my path led out of the valley and up again. Then I reached some rocks that were crossed by my path and at the top of them was a big bench. I paused for some minutes and continued, still going upwards, now along the slope of the Rhine river. I reached some lookout points with marvelous views down to the river before the way turned back to Rheinbay.

I continued my drive to my mother where I was welcomed with some cake, before we drove to a great dinner show in the evening.
