Sections
The Trail is divided into 4 Sections: Siebengebirge, Lower Middle Rhine Valley, Upper Middle Rhine Valley and Rheingau. There's also an official division into 21 stages, each of them representing an easy day hike. It's not important to follow these though, as they are mainly intended for dayhikers.
Water
Water is plentyful, as the Trail runs through a town every day, and there's plenty of streams flowing into the Rhine river that are safe to drink after filtration.
Weather
There aren't any extreme weather conditions on the trail that should stop you from hiking; expect normal German weather.
Getting To and From the Trail
Resupply
Resupply is plentyful as the Trail usually runs through a village/bigger town with a supermarket every day.
Geographic Features
The Trail runs along the valley side east of the Rhine river, which is one of the biggest rivers in Europe. Although the Trail's highest point is only at 365m(1197ft) it racks up a sizeable amount of elevation as you constantly go up and down the steep valley walls.
