Departure from Sankt Goar (Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis)
As well as a good dose of Rhine castle romance, this dream loop offers magnificent views of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can admire Oberwesel, the ‘town of towers’, Schönburg Castle, Katz Castle, Pfalzgrafenstein Customs Castle, Rheinfels Castle and the world-famous Loreley Rock. Finally, the view from the Spitzer Stein observation tower sweeps across the plateau-like Hunsrück hills and, beyond the Rhine Valley, far into the Taunus mountains.

Departure from Argenthal (Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis)
From the panoramic Schanzerkopf in the Mittlerer Soon to the Binger Wald
The fourth stage also takes us through the unspoilt, almost untouched landscape of the Soonwald forest. However, we are noticeably closer to civilisation again. We pass through the village of Rheinböllen, walk through a wind farm and come across two former foresters' houses where we can stop for refreshments. On the section from Schanzerkopf to the Jägerhaus foresters' house, we can enjoy magnificent views and, in addition to the panoramic Soonwald ridge, we pass two viewing towers.

Departure from Henau (Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis)
Through beech forests and nature reserves in the Großer Soon
On the third stage of the Soonwaldsteig trail, from the Koppenstein hiking car park to the Schanzerkopf hiking car park, the long-distance hiking trail plunges into the total seclusion of the Greater and Middle Soon. It passes through a primeval forest, two marshy nature reserves and quiet beech forests. Wild paths over bumpy quartzite rock, natural forest trails and soft meadow paths are part of the route profile, which takes us over the highest point of the Soonwald, the 658-metre-high Ellerspring.
