Interludes from the Rheinburgenweg

As I have already mentioned before, I spent an entire week in Mainz in order to hike parts of the Rheinburgenweg. The great thing about this hiking trail is that there are interesting castles and other points worth seeing in between. So even though I would have a hiking day, there were also occasions to take a break by exploring a castle along the way. Not only that, I also took some rest days where I went sight-seeing, primarily in Mainz itself, but also in nearby cities such as Worms. So even though the hiking parts of this trip have been blogged about already, there are still quite a few pictures worth showing, and therefore the travelogue continues.

I had a total of 5 hiking days. In between, I had three rest days, and two of those were spent in Mainz. I saw places of interest within the city, such as its cathedral, in addition to its numerous beautiful churches. I also saw a very interesting museum. And of course, there are the numerous castles that I have seen along the trail, and for the most part, these castles were open to the public, and so for most of them, I also saw the interiors.

Stay tuned, there are several places I will be showing one after another. As I mentioned before, I love this part of Germany, and it is definitely a place I could consider living in if I were to move away from Berlin.
