General

The Rheingau (literally "Rhine District") consists of the district on the Northern side of the Rhine between the German towns of Wiesbaden and Lorch near Frankfurt, reaching from the Western Taunus to the Rhine. It is situated in the German state of Hesse and is part of the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis administrative district. It is famous for Rheingau wines, especially the "Rheingauer Riesling," and its many taverns.

The Tour

We start in Rüdesheim at the station. We walk through the vineyards up to Ehrenfels Castle. Continue through the forest to Assmannshausen. Through the vineyards we walk towards Aulhausen. From there we have a long stretch through the cool forest. We pass the hunting lodge Niederwald, the viewpoint Rittersaal and Rossel before we reach the last highlight, the Niederwald monument. From there we walk back through the vineyards to the station in Rüdesheim.

Entry Fee 5€

Why is there an entry fee? Meetup wants a half-year amount for this group. With the entry fee I would like to cover these costs.
If the hike was really fun for you, I would also be happy about a donation which covers my own costs.
You are welcome to pay the 5€ cash on the hike or transfer it via Paypal, ‼️please transfer it via the ➡️For Family and Friends option(otherwise Paypal will charge me with 67 cent fees)
