Hiking

Wine is a pleasure for all the senses. This also applies to your exploration of the growing region on this circular hike. A healthy vineyard is an ecotope with high biodiversity and a wide variety of habitats, from hedges and bushes to insect hotels.

This biodiversity is not a coincidence,…

View of the Vineyards and Fields Along the Riesling Loop

December 21, 2025,Riesling Schleife - Kräuter und Blumen

Free parking is available at the starting point. This tour is also easily accessible by public transport.

And off we go! One of 14 Riesling Loops. Mostly on natural paths, entirely in open areas. In summer, this might be a disadvantage due to the lack of shade. At this time of year, the wind can be quite strong. This is …

December 30, 2023,Rieslingschleife 🍇 Kräuter und Blumen 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

According to the weather forecast, it was supposed to rain starting today. After a bit of rain yesterday evening and tonight, the day promised to be dry and the sun should shine too. So it's some hiking weather again this year.
After work, we first had breakfast (I brought fresh rolls), then we packed our hiking backpacks and drove to …

October 27, 2023,Riesling Schleife(5): Kräuter und Blumen

My weather app reported 3 rain-free hours and so I'm on my 5th Riesling loop starting at the cemetery in Erbach. And I was lucky, it actually stayed dry except for a few drops in the last 100 meters - it didn't really rain until I was in the car. Like my previous loops, this one is perfectly signposted and …

October 21, 2023,Riesling Schleife - Erbach 🍇 "Kräuter und Blumen"

Just the right round for the late afternoon to capture the play of colors of the vineyards in the setting sun 🌞.
I don't understand why the ribbon is called "Herbs and Flowers". I had more of a smell of cabbage in my nose 👃.
That was a “walking” and beautiful day in the Rheingau. 🍇🍷

Today I decided to support the local ferry service again (the Middle Rhine Bridge is unfortunately nowhere in sight yet) and hike a Riesling loop. Unfortunately, this loop doesn't offer any truly stunning views. Otherwise, it's a good walk. I have to complain again about the lack of information boards—I want to learn something about the region I'm hiking.

...Then herbs and flowers, an almost uneventful round, mostly on wide paths/roads through the vineyards.

🚐 Weinhof Martin parking space in Eltville-Erbach

I was able to start the hike directly from the parking space.
The hike began right in the vineyards, along the Kisselbach to the Hattenheimer Margarethenkapelle, with a small pond and benches that invite you to take a break.
I could even see a few herbs and flowers along the way. 🌿🌸🌼
