Walked on - opposite Oberwesel, it shows again the gorge that the Rhine has dug in the plateau. Here, you look out over the Hunsrück region.
10-Loreley-ViewNorth * On top of the Loreley is a restaurant - well, more than one. Here we had a coffee to enjoy the view over the Rhine, in Northern direction. * 1984 x 1488 * (315KB)

11-Loreley-ViewSouth * Walking on, there is a terrace viewing southward - the direction to go. * 1488 x 1984 * (533KB)

12-Spitznack * Another, less famous landmark, even more spectacular from this angle: Spitznack, another formation high above the river with spectacular views over the river. We passed it - didn't get on its summit. * 1984 x 1488 * (304KB)

13-WalledPath * Again, the path followed old roads between vineyards, walled on one side, and open the other. It would go more inland and take turns, where we had the high ground not on our left, and the river on our right, like you would expect; sometimes, the route circumvents high grounds along the river. This is such a diversion. * 1488 x 1984 * (716KB)

14-Oberwesel-Kaub * At Roßstein, where the Rhine takes a mighty turn, the path turns 90 degrees and offers a wide view on what is to come. On the other bank, Oberwesel occupies what's flat; Kaub peeks out in the distance, on the left side of the river. * 1984 x 1488 * (328KB)

16-ToDorscheid * We had our share on our side: This is the Taunus plateau, on our way to the village of Dorscheid - away from the Rhine, for a while. Here, the landscape is dominated with acres and meadows. * 1984 x 1488 * (339KB)

17-DescentToKaub * Once beyond Dorscheid, we headed back to the river, along a narrow valley. * 1488 x 1984 * (576KB)

18-BurgGutenfels * The castle above Kaub - on the opposite side of the Blüchertal. We went down this side, and would pass the castle tomorrow. * 1984 x 1488 * (476KB)
