From St. Goarshausen to Kestert
From the Hasenbach valley the Rheinsteig trail goes steeply uphill again, leading you on narrow and natural paths along the slopes of the Rhine. You can see the mighty fortress of Rheinfels castle on the other side of the river, just above St. Goar, before Burg Maus is the next castle which is located right beside the way.
Passing the castle Maus ...
Besides the splendid views of castles and of the river, this stage has got another central aspect: Starting at Wellemich, a 5 km long mining trail shows the region's history of slate quarrying and ore extraction.
... to Kestert
From the open plateau one can take distant views of the forested Hunsrück hills, before narrow and rocky paths lead you on through small valleys and eventually steeply downhill to Kestert and the banks of the Rhine.
