Our highlight routes

Long distances

Into the distance: The “Rheinsteig” premium hiking trail stretches 320 kilometers from Wiesbaden to Bonn and thus qualifies as a long-distance hiking trail. The trail is hiked on high ground, offering spectacular views of the most beautiful parts of the river. Ambitious hikers in good physical condition are in their element on the narrow paths and challenging climbs. The main trail is well marked with blue Reinsteig signs. Yellow symbols mark the access routes - also for shorter or longer stages from Rüdesheim.

The Rheingauer Klostersteig is a 30-kilometre hiking trail in the Rheingau that connects various historic monasteries and spiritual places. It leads through vineyards, forests and picturesque villages and offers impressive views of the Rhine Valley. The trail is not only a place of peace and contemplation, but also a cultural journey through the history of the region. Ideal for nature lovers and culture enthusiasts who appreciate wine, history and spirituality.

Time for a break

The Rotweinlaube in Assmannshausen is a picturesque vantage point known for its breathtaking panoramic views of the Rhine and the surrounding vineyards. The Rotweinlaube invites hikers and visitors to take a break and enjoy the impressive scenery with a glass of local red wine.

In the vineyards around Rüdesheim, you will find so-called wine cabinets along the hiking trails. These original stations, often made of wood, offer hikers the opportunity to purchase chilled bottles of wine from the region directly on site. A perfect addition to the idyllic Rheingau hiking culture! The wine cabinets are linked as entries on the hiking routes.
The Ramstein is one of the most beautiful vantage points in the Rüdesheim vineyards, located in the middle between the town and the monument, and is always a popular stop for a short break during hikes or wine tastings. There is even a dry toilet here. The Ramstein can also be booked as a venue for events .
