Rotweinlaube — Pavilion with views over the Rhine Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The perfect resting place for wine lovers in the Assmannshauser vineyard. In the pretty, copper-covered pavilion you will find shady seats, in the small wooden house you can supply yourself …

View of the Rhine from the Teufelskadrich

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hut with benches without a table for a rest on the Rheinsteig.
Unfortunately, there is no direct view of the Rhine from the hut.
The observation bench a few meters further on offers an even greater view of the Rhine.

Great hike on the Rheinsteig from Assmannhausen to Lurch.

April 7, 2026,07.04.26 Wanderbare Weinberge: Rheinsteig zwischen Assmannshausen und Lorch

Duration hike: approx. 8 hours 30 minutes.
(spent almost 2 hours sitting by the Rhine, otherwise took lots of photos, Komoot predicted 6 hours duration)
Duration of movement: approx. 3 hours 15 minutes.
Route length: 17.6 km

Photos will follow gradually. And I still need to think of a short text.

June 12, 2023,Rheinsteig 05. Etappe Rüdesheim - Lorch (Süd-Nord)

A mostly beautiful, but also challenging route (given the temperatures during my hike). Unfortunately, the gastronomy along the way was closed or not (yet) open. The winery in Lorch near the church provided the necessary refreshment at the end.

The noise from the opposite quarry on part of the route was not nice.

November 30, 2025,Tour von Lorch nach Rüdesheim — organisiert für 9 Mutige, die sich vom Regen nicht abschrecken ließen Danke an alle für diesen gemeinsamen Weg. Wir sind am ersten Advent gestartet, als in der Kirche die erste Kerze entzündet wurde – ein kleines Licht, da

A tour organized for 9 brave souls who weren't deterred by the rain.

Thank you all for this shared journey.

We set off on the first Sunday of Advent, as the first candle was lit in the church – a small light that reminds us that every journey begins with a quiet beginning.

April 22, 2023,Rheinsteig: Rüdesheim nach Lorch (diesmal andere Richtung) (K)

Yes, what should I write about it? Pictures speak for themselves.

I have now hiked this stage for the second time, the first time in the direction of the river source... today in the direction of the river mouth.... the same hike but completely different... back then I had hiked the entire Rheinsteig... now I'll pick it the most beautiful …

August 2, 2024,Etappe 17: von Lorch nach Rüdesheim - Teil 1 - Rheinsteig 02.08.2024

Back on the Rheinsteig after 3 months. Unfortunately I had some problems recording it. There were 2 tours and part of the second part is still missing. But it was very beautiful again 🥰. The stage went through vineyards and forest. The castles 🏰 were on the opposite side of the Rhine this time, so you always had beautiful views …

November 29, 2025,Rheinsteig Etappe 5 Rüdesheim-->Lorch

Hello fellow hikers. Today I was out with my hiking group again. We entered the Middle Rhine Valley. This should have offered us wonderful views, but unfortunately, the fog somewhat dampened our expectations. Luckily, it improved as the hike progressed. The group got along wonderfully, and so we still had a lot of fun. The route itself is very easy …
