Cycling past the monastery after taking a break is highly recommended, as the paths through the vineyards are easily navigable for trekking and mountain bikes, and the views over the vineyards and villages are beautiful!

After her time at Disibodenberg, Hildegard von Bingen found a new base in Rüdesheim. And the nuns from the abbey have a lot to say about it.
