With Helen. This walk was done without any help at all from maps and guidebooks, just a few notes on a scrap of paper provided by a very nice and helpful young postdoc in the bar of Goethe University the previous evening. We caught a train from Frankfurt to Eltville and a bus from the stop by the station up the hill to the old monastery of Kloster Eberbach. From here we followed the Rheinsteig Trail west past the Schloss Vollgrads to Schloss Johannisberg. This is very easy  to do as the Trail is very clearly marked at very frequent intervals with little blue and white trail markers that make getting lost almost impossible. It’s a very pleasant easy walk on good paths and roads, through woods and past vineyards. In the lovely spring weather we had, really pretty delightful.  At one point we made a little detour to grab some rather tasty chips from a stall at a meeting of a some model aircraft club. At Schloss Johannisberg we stopped to taste the local Riesling. There’s a bus down the the station at Gleisenheim from here but instead we walked down the hill past the other old monastery of Kloster Johannisberg, now a hotel, to the station and easily home to Frankfurt where we ate enormous lumps of rare meat in a nice but rather pricy steakhouse in Feuerbachstrasse round the corner from our hotel.
