Guesthouse with apartment-style rooms (small kitchen in most rooms) in Rengsdorf, about 100 m from the trail at the end of stage 6. Fully renovated and reopened in 2025.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap or the official Rheinsteig partner list) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Rengsdorf, Kestert and Kiedrich have only a few beds, and wine-festival weekends from August to October fill up early: book ahead, and ask your host about luggage transfer.
