Framersheimer Hornberg

Standing out

Framersheimer Hornberg, Ingelheimer Horn, Siefersheimer Goldenes Horn. The vineyard name with the suffix "Horn" is popular because it denotes protruding corners of a plateau. But there is ony thing that only Framersheim has: a 7-way labyrinth on the eastern tip of the Horn, built from 350 tonnes of limestone boulders. The curves there go back and forth, but never astray. At a height of about 280 metres, you can enjoy the view of the Odenwald (east), Kloppberg (south), Donnersberg (west) and Taunus with the Rhine plain (north). Clay marl forms the soil for numerous grape varieties.
