Eberbach Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

One of the most significant monasteries in Europe and, at the same time, Germany's largest winery invites you to explore. Here you can book guided tours, enjoy wine tastings, listen to concerts, and do many other wonderful things. And then, of course, there is the gastronomic offer for young and old and the many activities for children. Great.

More information can be found here: kloster-eberbach.de/de.

Schloss Vollrads

Castle

View of Schloss Johannisberg Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

The entire facility goes back to a monastery winery, the history of which dates back to the 8th century. The Fürst von Metternich Hall of the palace is now the venue for the Rheingau Music Festival.

The wine-growing domain belonging to the VDP is the sole owner of the 50-hectare site, which is one of the best in the Rheingau.[2] Only Riesling is grown here.

St. Hildegard Abbey and Church

Highlight • Religious Site

At the center of the 6 steles is the Disbodenberg stele. It is triangular.
It represents the three saints, the three paths: seeking, staying, and seeing.

Rhine Cycle Path near Geisenheim

Highlight • Cycleway

The section of the Rhine Cycle Path near Geisenheim is one of the most beautiful routes in the Rheingau. It is very well-developed, offers magnificent views of the Rhine and the surrounding vineyards, and is particularly popular with recreational and touring cyclists.

Towpath on the Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

The towpath is easy to cycle along, but it is too busy on weekends and public holidays. You should also find out beforehand whether there is currently high water. If so, it will flood quickly.

Eltville's Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

If you want to get to know the Rheingau, you should visit Eltville rather than Rüdesheim.
We recommend treating yourself to a Riesling at the wine tasting stand (on the Promenade) and gazing at the Rhine, lost in thought.

Not particularly strenuous, but worth seeing. The return journey took us past monasteries and castles in the vineyards.

May 14, 2024,Von Rüdesheim nach Eltville

Almost the last day of vacation... In glorious sunshine, we cycled along the Rhine cycle path to Eltville today. A pretty little town with a great old castle and a beautiful rose garden and rose wall.

After the tour, we went back a bit and had something to eat and drink in the small suburb of Erbach. Then we wanted …

Nice tour of the vineyards. In the vicinity of Kiedrich there is an idyllic farmer's cafe ("Café Wacholderhof") with a large garden and lots of goodies. Well worth a visit.

September 12, 2021,Rheingau -Tour 7.0-Rüdesheim-Abtei St. Hildegard-Schloß Vollrads-

Start Erbach am Rhein towards Rüdesheim to the St. Hildegard Abbey. The St. Hildegard Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in Eibingen near Rüdesheim in the Limburg diocese. The abbey has been part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002. Well worth seeing, but also the magnificent view from there over the Rhine valley.

June 16, 2021,Caravan & Bikes 15 Im Rheingau Rüdesheim - Kloster Eberbach - Eltville

The well-maintained Rüdesheim campsite is located directly on the banks of the Rhine. We went through the vineyards to the large monastery complex Eberbach on the edge of the Taunus. Back to the Rhine and upstream to Eltville. Rotkäppchen's champagne cellar master resides in the chic Mumm villa. The rest of the tour was pure cyclist meditation.
