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 plentiful, 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
- Extreme weather conditions are not common. Expect normal German weather.
Getting To and From the Trail
Resupply
- Resupply is plentiful as the trail usually runs through a 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 365 m (1197 ft), it racks up a significant amount of elevation as it constantly ascends and descends the steep valley walls.
