Rheinhessen's most beautiful wine views: Panorama, enjoyment and nature experience

Table of contents

Rheinhessen, Germany's largest wine-growing region, is not only a paradise for wine lovers, but also for hikers, cyclists and connoisseurs of fantastic views. Three particularly impressive vantage points have been honored in recent years as part of the "Most Beautiful Wine View" competition by the German Wine Institute awarded: the Winzeralm near Siefersheim, the Brudersberg near Nierstein and the Ruhkreuz near Zornheim.

Each location is adorned with a 3-metre-high steel stele by Mainz artist Ulrich Schreiber. A stylized bunch of grapes frames the view - and each "berry window" opens up new perspectives on the rolling hills, vineyards and picturesque landscapes of Rheinhessen.

The Vineyard is an ideal starting point for hikers on the Hiwweltour Heideblick. Here, visitors can enjoy regional wines while the view sweeps over the vast hilly landscape of Rheinhessen - from the Soonwald to the Odenwald.

A special highlight is the Siefersheim benches hikean annual wine hike that explores the vineyards and idyllic paths around Siefersheim. Other, temporarily open Wine bars along the Hiwweltour Heideblick invite you to take short breaks, enjoy regional specialties and wine tastings.

The Brudersberg offers spectacular views of the famous vineyards of the Roter Hang and the Rhine. The popular RheinTerrassenWeg from Worms to Mainz, ideal for pleasure hikers.

We also particularly recommend the Themed hiking trail "Red slope wine experience". Over a distance of around 7.8 km, you can experience the nature and history of the Roter Hang at 12 stations, while your gaze wanders over the vineyards and the Rhine.

Another highlight is the Wine presentation at the Red Slopewhere numerous winegrowers pour their Rieslings directly on site at the Rheinhessen AUSGEZEICHNET wine festival at the beginning of June. This is accompanied by culinary delights - an experience for all the senses.

Ruhkreuz near Zornheim - far-sightedness, contemplation and reflection

The Resting cross near Zornheim is the starting point of the Hiwweltour Zornheimer Mountain. Hikers can enjoy wonderful panoramic views over vineyards and orchards, right up to the Frankfurt skyline.

Directly at the Ruhkreuz is the Wine pavilion Zornheimwhere regional wines can be sampled - often accompanied by small treats. Nearby, the Chapel in the vineyards invite you to take a special kind of break. Its modern architecture and the view over the vineyards make it a place of peace and contemplation.

Conclusion

Rheinhessen combines nature, wine and enjoyment in a unique way. The Vineyard, the Brudersberg and the Resting cross not only offer fantastic views, but also culinary experiences and exciting hiking and cycling trails.

If you really want to discover Rheinhessen, you should visit these three wine views, explore the landscape, enjoy regional wines and be enchanted by the harmony of wine, nature and culture.

    Meine schönste Weinsicht ist der Rastplatz am Rohrbusch des Saulheimer Dorfvereins. Ein herrlicher Platz zum entspannten sundowner.
    Komm mal vorbei, demnächst werden beim y-Tisch endlich die Bänke erneuert.

    Sonnige Grüße aus Saulheim

    1. Liebe Frau Thörle,
      vielen Dank für die nette Einladung und den schönen Tipp! 🌅 Der Rastplatz am Rohrbusch klingt nach einem traumhaften Ort für einen Sundowner – besonders mit Blick auf die Saulheimer Weinberge. Wir freuen uns immer über solche Hinweise auf besondere Plätze in Rheinhessen. Vielleicht führt uns der nächste Ausflug der RHT tatsächlich mal nach Saulheim – spätestens, wenn die neuen Bänke eingeweiht sind! 😉
