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.
Winzeralm near Siefersheim - enjoyment with a view
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.
Brudersberg near Nierstein - view of the Roter Hang
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.

Wonderful views,
Here in Gau-Weinheim there is also a really great view. A cozy resting place in the middle of the vineyards. A place to relax and enjoy the view.
Hello Gerr Gottlich,

The blog post was specifically about the three "Most Beautiful Wine Views" in Rheinhessen awarded by the German Wine Institute. But of course there are also many other fantastic viewpoints, such as the one in Gau-Weinheim - Rheinhessen is simply full of moments of pleasure with a view!
Many greetings

Dear Christian Halbig
My favorite wine view is the resting place at the Rohrbusch of the Saulheim village association. A wonderful place for a relaxing sundowner.
Come by, the benches at the y-table will finally be renewed soon.
Sunny greetings from Saulheim

Dear Ms. Thörle,
Thank you for the kind invitation and the great tip! 🌅 The rest area at Rohrbusch sounds like a fantastic place for a sundowner - especially with a view of the Saulheim vineyards. We are always happy to receive tips like this about special places in Rheinhessen. Perhaps the next RHT excursion will actually take us to Saulheim - at the latest when the new benches are inaugurated! 😉
Sunny greetings
Christian Halbig
