The Middle Rhine Heart is a wonderful panoramic point on the Long Neck Trail, which was voted ‘Germany's most beautiful hiking trail’ in 2024.

From the vantage point, you have a fantastic view of the Middle Rhine Valley, with Osterspai and the Bopparder Hamm.

The large heart-shaped frame offers a great opportunity to take a nice souvenir photo.
