    "Schmitts Kappelchen" - that's the name of the over 100 year old vineyard house / Spitzhäusje - is located above the Red Slope. It was not until 2015 that two renters brought it into shape inside and out.

    Tables and benches, and a kind of wooden deck chair next to the house are ideal for resting with the finest views of the Rhine Valley and the Frankfurt skyline.

    55 million years ago there was a volcanic vent near the Spitzhäusje. Basalt was mined here, among other things, until the mid-19th century. The quarry was later filled in at this point and none of it can be seen.
