Today I have decided spontaneously to take advantage of my day (it's live American holidays) in order to run the last section of the Rhine castle-way run. According to the map it should be just over 32 km with 1266 hm. Wart on my balls still hurt pretty good, but I have decided to ignore this from now on. So it can not even go further. So I started just after 9:00 with the car on the way to Bingen. From there it's only 11 minutes by local train to Bacharach, the starting point of this Part piece. I walked up to the castle Stahleck made me run there finished, wrote a short went Ätschi-Bätscher SMS to Tom's and on. At a moderate pace, because I wanted to test the track for March, I followed the path. Only I walked uphill most of the slopes. I think this will be in March, to go with then 75 km more in the legs, probably.
I do not want with you 'then I ran up, then left then down' bored, but take some of my findings on this day together.
trail:
The route is varied and well laufbar, a good mix of trails steep uphill / downhill and wider, relieving trails. The asphalt content is minimal. A look at the calendar would have told me that I had better dressed, the Gore-Tex Trail Shoe variant.
Attractions:
There are some nice castles along the way, such as the castle Hohneck in low-Heimbach. There are many beautiful scenes. Anyway, I guess so. Because, unfortunately, the Rhine Valley during the whole race shrouded in fog. But there were many banks with a view towards the Rhine, as I am told my card. And who would not stand there so, if there were no nice view. So I always, when I saw a bank, said: "Oh, it's nice here."
Orientation:
The Rheinburgenweg shall be, as the Rheinsteig as unverlaufbar :-). In principle, one can say that the road is signposted very well indeed. But, as with Rheinsteig, one must of course always keep your eyes on. Of course, I again often "lost". Well actually not really run, but ran just a few hundred yards too far and turned back. But that adds up, too. Twice the next sign came only after a while, so I was already gone back because I thought I was wrong.
Only one point I discovered is actually a sign of the misplaced. Shortly before the low-Heimbach, there is a four-junction actually had a five, because a road forks again: There goes the sign continue straight, you know but not exactly which way. So I'm only right about 500 m, back, left a few hundred meters back. Right again, this time 1 km, return. Left, this time with the branch back. Finally, I ran a sharp left, a U-turn to speak. In the direction the sign points but not 100%. I'll show you like. However, this was the right way. But I know now.
to short the Swiss House, one must also watch out, first you have to run half-right, not straight, there would need to be repainted the signs again. I was in direct
Bingen already down in the village, it rolled downhill on asphalt so beautiful. But you have a few hundred meters further up into the woods again purely transverse. And since I wanted to find the right way, so I'm back again (although I was already at the destination). This was an effort.
I think this is the test run has already paid off. Because where I got lost, we will not run away in March. And where I'm gone right, but hopefully not.
time and distance:
bottom line with me were 39 kilometers in 5:35 hours to book. I measured back to the station and not stand around confused breaks and stopped. So I am about 7 km / h run. At the finish I was still very well together and got me so far expended. But as I said, in March we will have about 75 km more in the legs, so I think that, of the 5.5 - 6 km / h average is not unreasonable if the VP's and the group dynamic in mind. I am somewhat confused by the 6.5 km more, I ran over the map. A km is the way back to the station to assign, but also has 5.5 km I've not run (I think). So we should perhaps be set a few extra miles.
Striking points: has
The increase to the head shortly before Palm Trechtinghausen it takes. By then about 95 km in the legs which will be a right fun. And we will then go with the most security.
Just before the goal there is a zigzag Binger forest maze of small wooden bridges spanning over a winding Bächlich. I would imagine that we will extract some of these curses. Otherwise, as I said, good mixture of trail and forest roads
Next track inspection:
weekend I'll make me the section of Bad Salzig to Bacharach. Then according to the map are 40.6 km and 1792 hm on the program. Then I do not forget the camera. I'm not sure if I run Saturday or Sunday. But probably more likely Saturday, then one day there is more to Rodgau. If someone wants to join me, Let me know.
