Tips from the Community
The Flörsheimer Warte, a former watchtower, was part of the Kasteler Landwehr in the 15th century, which the Archbishopric of Mainz had established to protect its possessions on the right bank of the Rhine. After secularization (1803), the Landwehr lost its importance, as there was nothing left to defend due to lack of substance. The Flörsheimer Warte gradually fell into ruin. In 1996, a reconstruction based on historical models was built next to the relics of the medieval defensive tower. From here, there are magnificent panoramic views in all four cardinal directions over the Rheingau and the Taunus to the Frankfurt skyline. The popular excursion restaurant "Flörsheimer Warte" with a wine garden and weekend winter lounge invites you to enjoy Spundekäs, Handkäs, and Bauernsalat, accompanied by the best drops from the vineyards in Wicker and Hochheim.

Houseboat „Venus“: Was the last remaining houseboat directly at the mouth of the Nidda. Reports of police searches recently dominated the news surrounding the boat (as documented in the FNP).

It was built in 1958 by the Schlott family, christened „Peter Schlott“ on April 21, 1959, and came to Höchst in April 1959, where it has been permanently anchored ever since. The history of the ship Construction and christening: The Schlott family built the ship in 1958 in Freistett (Baden) according to their own plans. Arrival in Höchst: In April 1959, the ship sailed down the Rhine and Main to Frankfurt-Höchst at the mouth of the Nidda. Name: Originally, it was called „Peter Schlott“ after the family's namesake. Today's use: The ship was converted into a cult hotel ship with cabins and a restaurant with a terrace and renamed „Mainod“.

The Hochheim vineyards are world-famous and beautiful. When Riesling from Germany was the most sought-after and expensive wine in the world during the Victorian era (mid to late 19th century) (even more so than Burgundy and Bordeaux), it was also the latest "craze" in England. Due to the German roots of the English royal family and the connections to Hochheim, "Hochheimer" became synonymous with German Riesling. Since the English pronounced "ch" more like "k", "Hochheimer" quickly became "Hockheimer" and ultimately a shortened form "the Hock". Hock is still a fixed term in English traditional wine bars today.
