    Very nice wine bar in the midst of the vineyards with a magnificent view over the mountain road, along the mountain road and over the Ried! Unconditional recommendation!

      The Kirchberghäuschen is located on the Kirchberg above Bensheim. Around 1840, some citizens of Bensheim were of the opinion that the Kirchberg, which was still undeveloped at the time, should be given a crowning touch. Originally, a magnificent tower was supposed to crown the building, but this was not realized for cost reasons.
      On June 2, 1857, the Kirchberghäuschen was inaugurated as a “pleasure house”. It served as an event venue for parties, receptions and social events. Since its completion, it has been one of the most popular excursion destinations for Bensheim residents and one of the city's landmarks.

        Especially worthwhile in spring to almond blossom!

          Nice wine bar / beer garden on the vineyard above Bensheim. Excellent view over the mountain road and the lowlands.

            The Kirchberghäuschen is also nice for an evening walk from the Schönbergersportplatz, Wamboldersand, you are often rewarded with a beautiful sunset and the view over the Ried to the Palatinate Forest is very clear on some days. The beer garden is open when the flag can be seen outside.

              No fixed opening times. When the flag flies, it's open.
              (Usually from 12 p.m. in good weather)

                It is recommended to walk the last kilometer to the Kirchberghäuschen. The climb is very steep.

                      The Kirchberg, with vineyards stretching along its southern flank, is located in the east of Bensheim. The Kirchberghäuschen excursion restaurant, which is now classified as a cultural monument, was inaugurated on its hilltop in 1857.

                      Originally designed as a pleasure house for Bensheim's upper class society, the restaurant is now a popular excursion destination. From the garden terrace you have a wonderful view over Bensheim, the Bergstrasse and the Rhine plain all the way to the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest.
                      The restaurant has a free e-bike charging station (bring your charger). What should be emphasized is the friendliness of the operating staff.

                          It is best to hike the last kilometer to the Kirchberghäuschen. Very steep ramp.

                            Beautiful location in the middle of the vineyards. A wonderful place to relax after a hike or bike ride. From here you have a really beautiful view of Bensheim and the surrounding area. And there is everything your heart desires to eat and drink.
