A particularly impressive view of the Niederwald Monument opens up from the opposite Bingen cultural bank. From there, you look directly across the wide, glittering current of the Rhine to the steep, sun-drenched vineyard terraces of Rüdesheim. Majestically, high up on the wooded rocky outcrop of the Niederwald, sits the monumental, 12.5-meter-high Germania statue. Especially in the late afternoon hours or at sunset, when the monumental bronze figure shines in the warm, golden light and the silhouette of the monument stands out sharply against the sky, the panorama unfolds its full splendor. The contrast between the lively hustle and bustle on the riverbank, the gentle green of the vines, and the widely visible, historically significant national monument makes this viewpoint an unforgettable experience in the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.

It is a wonderful view of the Rheingau (on the right bank of the Rhine) from what the people of Rheingau call the "ebsch Seit", meaning the ugly/unattractive side (of the Rhine). Impressive, next to Ehrenfels Castle, is the Niederwald Monument with the towering statue of Germania. Built in the 1870s to commemorate and celebrate the founding of the German Empire after the Franco-Prussian War (with the proclamation of the German Emperor Wilhelm I in Versailles in 1871).
