The Rossel castle ruins were built in 1774 by Count Ostein on the highest elevation in the Niederwald. It is a popular tourist destination, especially because of its wonderful view of the Nahe estuary and the Binger Loch.

Niederwald monument

Highlight • Viewpoint

The imposing Niederwald Monument is located above the town of Rüdesheim. The monument commemorates the unification of Germany in 1871. The construction of the monument took six years. The Niederwald Monument has a total height of 38.18 meters and weighs 75 tons. The main figure, which is 12.5 meters high, shows the warrior Germania. The fantastic view from here should not go unmentioned.

Monopteros Temple with View of the Rhine

Highlight • Monument

In the 18th century, more precisely in 1788, Karl Maximilian Graf von Ostein had a monopteros built on the Niederwald above Rüdesheim am Rhein, which became part of his newly created park. Even back then, his often important guests were thrilled by the magnificent view of the Rhine. Even today, the view from the Niederwaldtempel conveys pure Rhine romanticism. The wonderful view to the south shows the Rhine Valley in all its magnificence and distinctiveness at any time of the year.

Drosselgasse, Rüdesheim on the Rhine

Highlight • Historical Site

Drosselgasse is the most famous street in Rüdesheim. It is just 144 meters long and only two meters wide. Wander over the cobbled streets of the lively lane, listen to the old carillon and let yourself be infected with a glass of wine from the Rhenish cheerfulness. In the first and oldest guesthouse of the lane, the Drosselhof, you get regional food.
