A lovely place for a break. You can unpack your provisions here or simply fire up the grill. Benches, tables, and a shelter are available.

The Westerberg circuit with the horseshoe sign always offers beautiful views of Ingelheim and a varied landscape with horse pastures, forest, fields and fruit trees. Some benches invite you to rest. However, it was quite uncomfortable today with about 7 degrees and rain on the way back.

We had hoped that the sun would make it through the fog up there, but unfortunately that didn't happen 🤪.
But the main thing was not to spend the whole day on the couch.
And a foggy hike is also something 👍☺️. Unfortunately, the Bismarck Tower is currently closed because of the Ingelheimer Kerz. I'll definitely come back in the …

We started our tour at the Bismarck Tower under bright sunshine. Halfway through the route, we reached the Westerberg Stud Farm. For much of the way, you pass horses.

Unfortunately, we couldn't climb the Bismarck Tower, as it's currently closed due to the "Ingelheim Candle" installation. However, we were able to take a picture of the "candle" in the dark.

The Westerberg circular trail is one of the eleven Ingelheim circular hiking trails that are laid out around the pharmaceutical city on the Rhine and are excellently signposted. From the car park at the Bismarck Tower, the trail initially leads across the plateau of the table mountain that was formed in the Tertiary period through pastures, horse paddocks, orchards and …

Always a nice walk: from the parking lot at the Bismarkturm, high above Ingelheim, always following the horseshoe to Gestüt Westerberg, with a view of Westerhaus Castle and vineyards, past large pastures with peacefully grazing pregnant mares or exuberant yearlings and over field and forest paths return.
The Westerhaus stud farm was founded by Heinrich von Opel in 1912 and …

An interesting mood on the Westerberg, you could see the outline of the Feldberg/Taunus very well. And the tele is fun, the castle church - albeit slightly blurred - is a highlight on the outskirts of Ingelheim-Süd. The grapes are hanging well, at least from a layman's point of view, and the deciduous trees also have some fruit.

Evening light stroll after the courtyard festival at Westerberg Castle. Good wine, delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere, great music, and then wonderful views from and over the vineyards.
