Germany's most beautiful hiking trails in Rhineland-Palatinate

The trade journal Wandermagazin has been awarding Germany's most beautiful hiking trails every year for almost 20 years, awarding hikes from all corners of the nation in the categories of day tours and multi-day tours (long-distance hiking trails). In the 2025 public vote, German hiking enthusiasts were once again enthusiastic about a route from Rhineland-Palatinate, voting the Hunolsteiner Klammtour Dream Loop (Traumschleife Hunolsteiner Klammtour) into third place on the winners' podium!
 
In previous years, some routes from the Rhineland- Palatinate shine in the public vote, so we have put together a clear list of the most beautiful hikes in the competition from the regions of Ahr, Eifel, Hunsrück, Lahntal, Moselle, Nahe, Palatinate, Romantic Rhine and Westerwald. The paths lead you through mystical deciduous and coniferous forests as well as deep valleys with rugged rocks on which imposing castles tower steadfastly over mighty river bends. In the tranquil wine villages and small hamlets along the way, fun-loving and hospitable people await you, who will be happy to give you a warm welcome. They proudly present you the fine wines from the sun-drenched steep slopes and serve you traditional specialties in a creative guise.
 
We wish you a lot of fun discovering and enjoying our homeland!
