Above Bingen-Büdesheim, the long ridge of Rochus Berg attracts visitors with paths, vine-teaching, nature teaching and fitness trails through fields, forests and vineyards. The technology trail, as well as Binger Nordic Walking Park are integrated into the park Rochus Berg. Kaiser Friedrich tower and Goetheruhe are beautiful viewpoints. You should definitely visit the Rochus Chapel and the Hildegardforum with the herb garden.

The tower is named Kaiser Friedrich III. in honor because he was completed in his term of office in 1888. It was built on the scarlet head of the Rochusberg, because from here you can enjoy a 360 ° view. Rüdesheim, Niederwald, Bingen, Binger-Loch, Bingerbrück, Münster Sarmsheim, Büdesheim, Bingerwald and Naheblick. In 2012 the tower was restored and can now safely be climbed. The entrance is free, only in the winter months it is closed for security reasons.
