Trip Log

Today we left the Rhein for a brief side trip to Bad Kreuznach. Since Bad Kreuznach does not have a place for tent camping, we’re camping in Bad Münster, just a few km past Bad Kreuznach.

As we got close to Bad Kreuznach, some really dark angry clouds came up and we decided to race on to Bad Münster to get the tent set up before any significant rain started. Even if the tent gets rained on, it’s nice to at least start out on dry ground. It turned out that we only got a few drops of rain, so we managed a thorough walk-around of Bad Münster, and tomorrow, on our way back to the Rhein, we will do an exploration of Bad Kreuznach.

One thing we found interesting along the way were some large wall-like structures being built. We surmised that they were ’living walls’ that would grow plants, as we’ve seen such things before. As fate would have it, we had a conversation with a random cyclist along the way and she told us that they are, in fact, designed to remove salt from the water. The water, which is salty in this area, is pumped up to the top, and on its journey through the wood on the way down, the salt is removed. Very interesting.

The campingplatz at Bad Münster, Nahe-Alsenz-Eck, is one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed at. It’s incredibly scenic, and tranquil - no highways or trains or hoards of geese. The sanitary building is great and the showers are the best camping showers I’ve ever seen by far. The Nahe Radweg, to be honest, isn’t the nicest, but this place makes up for it. Highly recommend.
