Miniature Castle Leckzapfen (1891) - Osthofen 🚴‍♂️

Tasty or licking, or both?

And which tap?

The tap or a tattoo?

The location is named after the miniature castle "Leckzapfen," built in 1891 by Gustav Friedrich Weißheimer, a landowner and mill owner from Osthofen, which is why it was also called "Gustavsburg" in its early days. The brick and clinker building with a round tower on the side is a true gem – and bears a resemblance to the famous fairytale Lichtenstein Castle. After years of decay, it was lovingly renovated and voted "Rheinhessen's Most Beautiful Vineyard Cottage" in 2011. From its balcony, you can enjoy a magnificent view over Osthofen, the Rhine plain, and the Rhenish-Hessian hills.

Legend has it that even in the Middle Ages, the wines were so good that the cellar master would lick the barrel's tap to get every last drop. 🚴‍♂️

The miniature castle Leckzapfen in Osthofen is a real insider tip for me as a cyclist! I made a short stop here on my tour and was immediately captivated by the charming sight of the small castle complex. It is impressive how much love and attention to detail has gone into this miniature building.

When I arrived, I felt like I was immersed in another time. The small towers and battlements let the imagination run wild and I could easily imagine what life was like here in the past. The place offers a perfect backdrop for a short break - I sat down on a bench, enjoyed my Radler bar and soaked up the peace of the surroundings.
