DAY 8 @hildegardvonbingen_pilgern Stromberg > #Bingen am Rhein 19,5km, +385m. I wanted to enjoy my last day on the trail to the fullest, so I was up and ready to go at sunrise! After getting the bus at 7am as a single passenger with the super friendly Spanish bus driver I hiked to REWE to get breakfast. It was a chilly morning (13°C) bit warming up quickly. I had 2nd breakfast in Wald-Erbach where I was lucky someone opened the church, a real gem. About halfway the section I entered the Binger Wald with it's SteckeSchläägerklamm, a section of the trail following the Hasselbach where troll are carved out in the trees. From there the trail goes through the #Morgenbachtal, probably the most beautiful part of the whole trail 😍. After enjoying the view at Damianskopf I reloaded on sugar with a vegan carrot cake at Forsthaus Heiligkreuz. Enough energy for the final descent to Bingen am Rhein. August 2024.
