With its Hiwwelt tours and many themed trails, Rheinhessen has found a place in the hearts of many hikers. Hiking reveals the many facets of the region, and in the largest wine-growing region in particular, enjoyment and wine are a must. So that nobody has to \"sacrifice\" themselves as a driver and miss out on a sip of wine, I have picked out four hiking experiences in Rheinhessen for you, all of which are easily accessible by bus or train.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hiking tours in Rheinhessen can be easily combined by car and from a parking lot with a stop for refreshments on the way or after the tour. However, many of the hiking tours can also be reached by bus or train and can be turned into a day of adventure. By train, the train lines between Bingen, Mainz and Worms are ideal. There are also rail routes across the country from Bingen to Worms or from Mainz via Alzey to Kirchheimbolanden in the Palatinate. Many bus lines complete the local public transport network.<\/p>\n

Two of the hiking tours, near Stadecken-Elsheim and Mettenheim, are directly connected by bus or train. The access routes of the other two tours compensate for this with a high cultural and culinary value in the two towns of Ingelheim and W\u00f6rrstadt. For each tour, you will find examples of public transport connections and a description of the route. The frequency of the connections may vary depending on the day of the week and time of day (especially on Sundays). There are often other connections that involve changes or depart from other stations or stops.<\/p>\n

For each tour, you will receive one or more tips on where to stop for a bite to eat. Pay attention to the current opening times of the restaurants, as these can vary greatly depending on the season. All hiking tours are very well signposted and each tour is available online as a map and as a GPX file to download for your hiking app.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rheinterrassenweg Mettenheim - Guntersblum<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Rhine Terrace Path<\/a> connects the two cathedral cities of Worms and Mainz in six regular stages over around 75 kilometers and runs parallel to and above the Rhine through vineyards and hillsides. The stages can be freely arranged, extended or shortened, as almost all towns along the stages have a train station. <\/strong><\/p>\n

After a short ascent, the Rheinterrassenweg can be reached everywhere and the respective train station after a descent. The S-Bahn line 6 runs regularly every 30 minutes or so between Mainz and Worms. As an example, I present stage 3 from Mettenheim via Alsheim to Guntersblum. It is possible to stop for a bite to eat with a detour in Alsheim and then in Guntersblum.<\/p>\n
