The Rhein-Zeitung, Westerwald-Brauerei, Westerwald Touristik-Service, Tourist-Information Hachenburg and Typisch Westerwald are pleased to announce the new date for the RZ Winter Hiking Day! After the originally planned event in January had to be canceled due to the weather conditions, the RZ Winter Hiking Day will now take place on Sunday, March 16, 2025. Take the opportunity to enjoy one of the last days of winter before spring officially begins on March 20.
On the new date, participants can also expect an exciting program with six guided circular hikes that start and end on the grounds of the Westerwald brewery. With distances ranging from 4.5 to 20 km, there is a suitable route for every fitness level: from ambitious hikers, who start at 8:30 am, to families, who can explore the city on a playful 4.5 km tour from 10:30 am.
After the hikes, participants can enjoy a wide range of culinary delights on the brewery grounds. Visitors can also find out about the current projects and offers of the Westerwald Tourist Service, the Hachenburg Tourist Information Office, the "Wir Westerwälder" initiative and the Westerwald Association at various stands. A special highlight is the competition organized by the Rhein-Zeitung newspaper, with attractive prizes awaiting participants.
Participation in the guided hikes is only possible with prior registration via the booking system at www.westerwald.info/wandern/rz-winterwandertag. Individual hikers can also explore the route "RZ 07 - No guide, no problem (approx. 8 km)" on their own. However, registration is still required in order to be able to plan the catering optimally.
