From Koblenz to Vallendar

Leading you uphill right after the start, the Rheinsteig trail passes the imposing fortress of Ehrenbreistein. From the hills, there are good views of Koblenz, where the rivers Rhine and Moselle flow together at the "Deutsches Eck”. Passing hilly grounds, the way takes you through the idyllic valley of the Mallendarer Bach and after that through the partly boggy Wambach valley to Vallendar. Directly opposite of the town, the village of Niederwerth is idyllically located on an island in the Rhine.
