RheinTerrassenWeg-stage Oppenheim - Nierstein - Nackenheim - Bodenheim

In Oppenheim, Katharinenkirche, Kellerlabyrinth and the ruin Landskrone provide a great start, before extended vineyards offer wonderful views. The Niersteiner marketplace is one of the most beautiful places in Rheinhessen with its ambience and is ideal for a break, before the climb to the Red Hang demands a bit of fitness. Rheinhessen's "most beautiful wine view on the Brudersberg" is worth the effort. Great views accompany the hiker to Nackenheim, with a beautiful view of the church of St. Gereon. The last part to Bodenheim is quickly mastered. The wine village is the Mecca for Strausswirtschaften and Gutsschänken in Rheinhessen.

RheinTerrassenWeg-Stage Bodenheim - Mainz

Between Bodenheim and Mainz, the RheinTerrassenWeg offers magnificent views over the Rhine, the Taunus and the banking metropolis Frankfurt. Particularly impressive is the view on the Laubenheimer Höhe. Later, the surrounding area changes, because the path surrounds the former limestone quarry of Weisenau with insights into the history of the earth. At the end of the Rhine follows to the state capital Mainz, where, in addition to the interesting old town with the cathedral, the Gutenberg Museum and the numerous wine bars will definitely be explored.
