Day 1 / Saturday, 07.10.2023
With packed bag and hiking equipment, we meet this morning with your guide Bernd Doetsch at the sander Hotel, where an extensive breakfast buffet is already waiting for us.
We leave our luggage at the hotel (check-in is not possible until the afternoon) and set off by cab to the Rittersturz. This year's anniversary "75 years of the Knights' Fall Conference" gives us an opportunity to discuss the significance of this historically important event.
Our next destination is not far away and is often called the "Crown Jewel of Rhine Romanticism" - Schloss Stolzenfels. During the 2-hour hike (approx. 5-6km, min. 160hm) you will also stop for an extensive rest, where we will enjoy the provisions we brought with us and a glass of wine.
Arrived at the castle, you will learn everything important about the summer residence of Frederick William IV of Prussia during a 45-minute tour.
Around 5:00 pm we will be taken back to the hotel by cabs, this is where our first day ends! At 18:30 we have reserved tables for the group in the restaurant "Altes Kaufhaus" in Koblenz Altstadt - not a must but certainly a nice ending.
Day 2 / Sunday, 08.10.2023
After a hearty breakfast, today we explore the Asterstein district and its namesake fortress.
We will be picked up at the hotel by your guide Manfred Böckling, cross over together with the Schängelfähre and walk up to Fort Asterstein for about 30 minutes. During a guided tour we look at the history of the once Prussian fortress and how it has developed over the centuries. We will gain interesting insights into the creation and current restoration of the fortress park.
Afterwards, we will go on a varied, approximately two-hour hike together "around the Asterstein" - the signposted paths also lead through the Bienhorn Valley with its narrow stream.
After the last ascent via the Devil's Staircase with 224 steps, we reach the Rheinkrone Hotel, where we take a well-deserved rest. After a well-balanced lunch we walk back to the Schängelfähre and return to Koblenz Altstadt.
Our active "STAYCATION" weekend ends here and you can pick up your luggage at the hotel again.*
