TRAVEL DIARIES - High above the Rhine
by: Felix & Patrick – Germany
My name is Felix, I'm 34 years old and a hiking blogger from Cologne. Together with my friend Patrick – also from Cologne – we often go on tours and report on our experiences on our blog wanderzentrale.de .
People often think you have to travel far to experience a true adventure. Sure, we love adventure – but when you live in Cologne, nature isn't usually just around the corner. Fortunately, a real highlight awaits just south of the Rhine : the Rhine Valley , part of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On our hikes along the Rhine, we love to climb the steep vineyards , enjoy the views, and discover the numerous castles on the hilltops.
During a hike on the Rheinsteig trail , we wondered: How great would it be to have a comfortable place to chill—or even spend the night? While searching for a solution, we came across Ticket To The Moon —and thus began our passion for hammocks . The Lightest Hammock has been our faithful companion ever since.
Whether for a break or an overnight stay, we've experienced unforgettable moments with her. Now, on every hike, we look for the perfect spot to hang out and enjoy the view with a Riesling or a cold beer .
No matter how steep the climb or how rough the path: when we see a brilliant spot – we hang.
