Rheinhöhenlauf
The Rheinhöhenlauf is a running event in northern Rhineland-Palatinate . The run always takes place on the penultimate weekend in September. The routes lead almost entirely over paved forest paths through the border area between Westerwald and Siebengebirge . The organization extends from catering and clothing transport to live music along the way and a raffle. The proceeds from the event will go to the Friends of the Franziskus Hospital Linz am Rhein.
