I walked this trail in reverse direction and high temperatures in late summer 2024. The Soonwaldsteig officially begins in Kirn and proceeds toward the north-east, ending in Bingen on the Rhine. There are very few opportunities to resupply water along the route, however are some bookable paid nature campsites with an honesty box system that might have water.
