The cultural landscape of the RheinBurgenWeg trail is incredibly beautiful. The breath-taking, varied paths wind their way over hills and through lush valleys. The trail is ideal for anyone with a thirst for adventure and knowledge, for anyone who wants to escape the stresses of their job and those who just want to take some time out. The RheinBurgenWeg trail offers a colourful mix of adventure and contemplation.

The RheinBurgenWeg leads 200km through a unique cultural landscape between the Mäuseturm near Bingen and the Rolandsbogen near Remagen.You pass Koblenz through the UNESCO-Welterbe Oberes Mittelrheintal and afterwards you visit Andernach with its world biggest cold water geyser. Shortly before the finish line you cross the Ahrtal, one of the most northern vine-growing areas in Germany.

Hi Stefan, the stages here are going from south to north: RheinBurgenWeg Stage 1: Bingen - Trechtingshausen (South - North). I just downloaded the gpx from every stage for my navigation, it worked great.

We've walked the Rheinburgenweg from Bingen to Bonn late September/early October 2020 and took us 9 days. The route goes up and down the hills, through forests, vinyeards and beautiful scenic towns along the Rhine. And there are castles everywhere! When we didn't feel like climbing all day, we sometimes just walked along the shore, which is also really nice. Towns like Bacharach, Sank Goar, Boppard, Andernach and Bad Breisig are really cute, and a bigger city like Koblenz is nice for a change as well to stay for the night. I didn't really expect a lot from Bonn, but it is a great place to finish and we've ended up staying there for 3 nights because we liked it so much. I'd highly recommend this route, perhaps in late Spring or (early) Summer because of the weather. In Fall it can be a little cold and rainy, which makes it a bit more of a challenge.
