Almost 100 hiking trails from all over Germany have applied to the trade magazine Wandermagazin to become Germany's Most Beautiful Hiking Trail 2022. A total of 25 trails have made it to the final and are now facing the vote of a nationwide hiking public. The field of participants is divided into 10 multi-day tours and 15 day tours.

For the first time, the WesterwaldSteig long-distance hiking trail is also up for voting! Voting will mainly take place at www.wandermagazin.de/wahlstudio or with classic voting cards, which will be available along the trail. Together with Globetrotter, the hiking magazine is giving away valuable prizes. Voting ends on 30.6.2022, after which the votes will be counted before Wandermagazin announces the winner in August 2022 and honors them with a ceremony.

The district administrators of the Westerwald, Altenkirchen and Neuwied districts are also delighted with the nomination and are giving the WesterwaldSteig their vote. "All Westerwald residents can use their vote to help bring the WesterwaldSteig and our beautiful hiking region a little closer to victory!" says Maja Büttner from Westerwald Touristik-Service, asking for support.
