Der Rotenfels — Attraction in Rüdesheim

And it offers very ambitious hikers with a lot of experience on fragile T6 routes and the appropriate equipment impressive and adventurous climbing options in...

I lived across the river from the Rotenfels. I recall Konigsgarten Strass, just not the number of the duplex. From 1988 thru 1990. Wish I could remember the name of the lady on the other half. They owned the whole building. At least once a week, I would head out the front door and run up one side of the Rotenfels and down the other end and back through town to my place. Great way to kill a few hours. Then I would ruin all of that running by buying a loaf of Weiss Weizen Brot and eating half of it while it was still warm. God, I miss my...
