This is the starting point/trailhead of the 320 km walking trail The RheinSteig on the East bank of the Rhine. From here, from the market square in the inner city of Bonn, the route begins in direction north to south. The first section goes from Bonn to Königswinter.
The RheinSteig management about this trail:
"The RheinSteig is a 320 km trail along the right bank of the Rhine connecting Bonn, Koblenz and Wiesbaden, mainly on narrow paths with steep climbs and descents through forests and vineyards to spectacular views. Meticulously signposted and closely cross-linked, the route is suitable for ambitious long-distance hikes or highly varied shorter walks, easily accessible by rail, boat or car. Yellow-marked access routes guide hikers safely to the blue-marked main trail and then back into towns and villages again, making it easy to plan out the route in stages."
About the path format:
- Narrow paths have priority (walkable width of less than 1 m)
- Natural paths have priority (earthy, grassy, springy)
- Avoid asphalt surfaces wherever possible
- Avoid paths on and alongside roads with traffic as far as possible
