The orchard of Rheinhessen

In the idyllic Selz valley and between rows of grapevines and orchards lie the towns of the Gau-Algesheim association municipality. Worth seeing churches, historic town halls and market places characterize the beautiful townscape of the communities, first and foremost the town of Gau-Algesheim.

In addition to viticulture, this region is characterized above all by fruit growing - a feast for the eyes that can hardly be overlooked in the springtime when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Numerous places to stop for refreshments and traditional festivals have always attracted visitors. In recent times, well-signposted cycle paths - e.g. the Selz Valley Cycle Path or the Fruit Route - and hiking trails have been added. One attraction is the round tour "Hiwweltour Bismarckturm", certified by the German Hiking Association. Paths lined by forests, vineyards and pastures offer fabulous panoramic views of Ingelheim, the Rheingau, Laurenziberg with the pilgrimage church and into the Binger Loch.

The region around Gau-Algesheim and Ingelheim awaits you with great highlights that will make your vacation in Rheinhessen a very special experience. Why not round off the day with a good glass of wine in one of the numerous wine bars, relax in the Rheinhessen water and sauna world “rheinwelle” or be enchanted by regional suppliers and their fresh fruit and vegetables.
