Important notes for the 8th stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are there shopping facilities on the 8th stage of the Rheinsteig?
<\/strong>In Koblenz you will find many shopping possibilities, as Koblenz with its 112.000 inhabitants is one of the biggest cities on the Rheinsteig. In Braubach there is a Netto supermarket, where you can fill up your foodbag. On the way from Koblenz to Braubach there are no direct shopping possibilities, only a small restaurant called “Zum Schleusenh\u00e4uschen”, which is not always open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it possible to refill water on the 8th stage of the Rheinsteig?
<\/strong>With a good water filter like the Saywer PointONE*<\/a> you can refill and filter water in the Ruppertsklamm. In the restaurant “Zum Schleusenh\u00e4uschen” you can also fill up your water bottles when it is open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I spend the night on the 8th stage of the Rheinsteig?
<\/strong>In Braubach there are several hotels and guesthouses. On that day I stayed at the hotel “Zum Weissen Schwanen” because I still had a lot of pain and problems with my blisters. Alternatively there are 1.5 kilometres before and behind Braubach directly on the Rheinsteig refuge huts where an emergency campground can be set up. I’ve camped here before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is the marking of the route on the 8th stage of the Rheinsteig?
<\/strong>The labelling is very good and you can’t get lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
