Beschreibung

The start of the hike is in the village of Versam. Past the church, the path leads into the nearby forest with beautiful old beech trees. You already catch a first glimpse of the Rhine Gorge. Soon you reach the road. Follow it for a short distance to the Islabord viewing platform, which is stylishly set in the landscape. From the platform, walk a few steps back and follow the forest path towards Chrummwag. Soon, a path leads deeper and deeper into the Rhine Gorge until you eventually walk directly along the Rhine. The scenery is fascinating here, always close to the water and framed by steep rock faces; the path leads via Versam station through pine forests, along gravel banks to the junction towards Carrera. Here you ascend to the hamlet of Carrera. Through forest and over meadows, it goes slightly up and down back to Versam.

Geheimtipp

Places to stop by the Versam station include a café for a break or the self-service shop in the waiting room. At Isla, there is a nice fireplace at the edge of the forest.

Sicherheitshinweis

Out of consideration for nature and the partly endangered animal species, some rules must be observed in the Rhine Gorge area: Please only use the marked routes and rest areas and observe the protected zones for endangered riverbank birds and river lapwings between April and July. During this time, gravel banks and riverbanks at marked spots may not be entered.


Please only use official fire pits and take your waste with you again. Camping is only allowed at official campsites.
