Start point is Braubach
Estimated altitude 1000 m in total
Maps: Oberes Mittelrheintal 1: 50.000; ISBN 3-89446-346-5
Character: Steep climbs and slopes, partly rocky, mostly in the forest
Recommended equipment: Mountain bike :-), Tour bike :-(, Hiking shoes :-)
This is a tough cookie including pushing the bike. The distance does not appear very long, but plan a day for this trip. Various sections are too steep for cycling, but the landscape and the view on the Rhine valley (UNESCO world heritage) make you forget the exhaustion. Follow the Rheinsteig sign posts except for the steep decline to St. Goarshausen.
Tip: Rather turn left at the car parking near the view point and take the concrete road direction Nochern. Look for the Sport stadion at the right before you come into the village. Pass the stadion and find a path in parallel to the road which is meandering through the Feuerbach valley. Short before St. Goar you will hit the road.
There is no real alternative to this route if you want to stay in hte saddle and out of traffic
