After a successful appointment this morning, I rewarded myself with one of the five new Hiwwel tours, which was on my way home. What can I say? Yesssss, it's small, but absolutely wonderful, and when it's green, it will surely be even more amazing. I'm completely in love.

Hiwweltour Wasserturm... a literally fairytale path. On the one hand, because of the fairytale figures created with great attention to detail on the fairytale trail, and on the other hand, because of the very varied route through fields, forests, and along vineyards. The views are fantastic... there is always a view of the rolling hills of Rhenish Hesse. The restored …

Five new Hiwwel Tours are scheduled to open in Rheinhessen in April/May. One of them is the Hiwwel Tour Water Tower in Wöllstein. Since we didn't have much time for a longer hike today, we tested it out. A very nice route, perhaps a little short, but true to the motto: small but perfectly formed. The signage is almost complete. …

Since we had other plans this afternoon, we opted for a short hike nearby. And since five new Hiwweltours are planned for 2026, we chose the Wöllstein Water Tower Hiwweltour. It officially opens on May 1st, but is already perfectly, almost lavishly, signposted. However, it will only become a certified Hiwweltour once it receives its final certification!

Today it was supposed to be one of the new Hiwwel tours, the Hiwwel tour Wasserturm.
A short but beautiful tour, also suitable for families with children. The figures, the NSG, the stream and the beautiful trail guidance make the whole thing a very entertaining hike.
We liked it and at the end we had a leisurely stop at the …

Beautiful tour through vineyards, heathland and forests, past the stream and fairytale figures. At the beginning, a view from the water tower in Wöllstein.
Here you don't just hike from place to place, but from experience to experience. The circular route leads you through the Appelbachtal valley, rolling vineyards and the nature reserves Ölberg and Höllberg, which inspire with their …

April 19, 2026,Wöllstein: Neue Hiwweltour Wasserturm 👸 🦕

After an involuntary period of bed rest, I wanted to get some fresh air in this glorious spring weather before returning to work, and what could be more obvious than introducing some good friends to one of the new Hiwweltouren? This so-called 'Hiwweltour Wasserturm' near Wöllstein is absolutely worth exploring!!!
