The mouth of the Walluf into the Rhine is a charming gem – scenically beautiful, ecologically valuable and at the same time a sociable meeting place on the banks of the Rhine.

Eltville is less well-known than Rüdesheim, but considerably more beautiful; its streets exude pure Rheingau romance. By the way: Gutenberg, the inventor of printing, once lived here.
