The last leg. we could start at Rauenthal, walk North to Schlangenbad and back South. It needed to be shorter day, for we had to pack for the way back. So we bypassed about 8 kilometres and started the route at a parking place marked with a monstrous tree, and walked over hills and valleys to Frauenstein; from there, the walk continues through vineyards and along fruit trees and gardens to the Schiersteiner Hafen - now a marina. next followed the path on the river bank to the endpoint of the Rheinsteig: the Biebrich Palace.
