Kloster Eberbach Wine Shop

Highlight • Historical Site

Unfortunately, I don't recommend it because it's far too expensive and fancy.
No, you buy wine from the winemaker!

At the center of the 6 steles is the Disbodenberg stele. It is triangular.

Towpath on the Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

The towpath is easy to cycle along, but it is too busy on weekends and public holidays. You should also find out beforehand whether there is currently high water. If so, it will flood quickly.

Erbacher Wäldchen

If you want to get to know the Rheingau, you should visit Eltville rather than Rüdesheim.
We recommend treating yourself to a Riesling at the wine tasting stand (on the Promenade) and gazing at the Rhine, lost in thought.

Not particularly strenuous, but worth seeing. The return journey took us past monasteries and castles in the vineyards.

Almost the last day of vacation... In glorious sunshine, we cycled along the Rhine cycle path to Eltville today. A pretty little town with a great old castle and a beautiful rose garden and rose wall.

After the tour, we went back a bit and had something to eat and drink in the small suburb of Erbach. Then we wanted …
