Saint Hildegard was not only wise but also very courageous. The beautiful, working monastery houses, among other things, a well-stocked library, naturally including several books about this emancipated woman. Those more inclined towards wine will also find something to their liking: the monastery's own wine is of exceptional quality.

From the Ehrenfels there is a great view of the Mäuseturm.

A powerful piece of ecclesiastical history in the most beautiful location of the Rheingau.

Ehrenfels Castle is a striking castle ruin in the Rheingau region, west of Rüdesheim am Rhein, and is one of the region's most famous landmarks. It sits spectacularly on the steep slope of Rüdesheimer Berg, surrounded by vineyards and the Rhine, with views of Bingen and the Mäuseturm (Mouse Tower).

Around 1100: Founded as a Benedictine monastery. 1716: After destruction during the Thirty Years' War, the Prince-Bishop of Mainz purchased the ruins and had the baroque Johannisberg Palace built on the same site. Owners included the Prince-Abbots of Fulda and later the Prince of Metternich. Famous for the origin of the Spätlese (late harvest): In 1775, a delayed harvest was permitted for the first time → discovery of noble rot (Botrytis) → one of the most important moments in winemaking history! One of the oldest Riesling wineries in the world. Approximately 50 hectares of vineyards, exclusively Riesling. Specialty: high-quality Prädikat wines (Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, and Eiswein). Many vintages are among the top wines of the Rheingau.

It's worth arriving early. Otherwise, there are a lot of tourists.

Absolute recommendation!

Great challenging natural trail with a few subtle structures for jumping and cornering!
