General
The Rheingau (literally "Rhine District") consists of the district on the Northern side of the Rhine between the German towns of Wiesbaden and Lorch near Frankfurt, reaching from the Western Taunus to the Rhine. It is situated in the German state of Hesse and is part of the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis administrative district. It is famous for Rheingau wines, especially the "Rheingauer Riesling," and its many taverns.

The Tour
We start in Oestrich-Winkel at the station. From there we will walk through the vineyards up the hill into the forest. After a while we reach the Hallgarter Zange. Maybe if the kiosk there is open we can stop there for a drink. From there, walk a little further over the ridge through the forest back towards the Rhine. On the way down, we pass Schloss Vollrads. From there we walk through the vineyards back to the Weinprobierstand at the Rhine. The trainstaion is nearby.

Entry Fee 5€
Why is there an entry fee? Meetup wants a half-year amount for this group. With the entry fee I would like to cover these costs.
If the hike was really fun for you, I would also be happy about a donation which covers my own costs.
You are welcome to pay the 5€ cash on the hike or transfer it via Paypal, ‼️please transfer it via the ➡️For Family and Friends option(otherwise Paypal will charge me with 67 cent fees)
