From the Niederwald monument overlooking Rüdesheim you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Rhine and the vineyards, which have made Rüdesheim a famous wine town with its tavern-lined Drosselgasse lane.

Wine and brandy
Riesling – symbol of the Rheingau region, enjoyed as a fine wine or a sparkling Rieslingsekt. Sample it at one of the many wine tastings hosted in the vintners' own wine cellars.

Rüdesheim has many attractions, such as the Drosselgasse lined with wine taverns and gardens and the Niederwald monument, depicting the mythical figure of Germania, which can be reached from Rüdesheim and Assmannshausen by foot through the vineyards, or by cable car or chair lift. The ruins of Ehrenfels Castle are in an idyllic location surrounded by vineyards above the Rhine gorge.
