Leafy Tunnel Pathway

Highlight • Trail

The bike path offers a lot of protection from the sun while cycling through the shrub tunnel as I called it. It also stops a lot when it rains

The watch tower above the town of Nierstein, located north in the Rote Hang, is the highest vantage point in the vineyards with an excellent panoramic view over Nierstein to Donnersberg, to the Hessian Bergstrasse, into the Taunus, to Wiesbaden, Mainz and the Rhine-Main area . rheinhessen.de/a-wartturm-von-nierstein

View of Nierstein, the Rhine and the vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, if the weather is clear enough, you can see not only the vineyards, the Rhine and Nierstein, but even as far as Frankfurt. Across the Rhine you can see the Odenwald, and to the north-northwest you can see the high-rise buildings of Mainz-Lerchenberg, including the ZDF high-rise 👍

Nierstein Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Under no circumstances should you be put off by the noisy street nearby (parallel) to the Rhine! The actual town center lies further to the west. It's best to look for one of the ostrich taverns there.
