For over 100 years, the Hermannshöhle has been the highest-rated vineyard in the Nahe region for tax purposes and is therefore the benchmark for the valuation of all other vineyards in the area.

Great route. From the Monzingen-Bad Sobernheim cycle path, go straight past the Bad Sobernheim Naheradweg junction (which runs under the B41). After about 500m, follow the cycle path sign to the left uphill, always following the cycle signs towards Daubach and the Soonwald/Entenpfuhl Forestry Office. The path is quite steep in places, and further up in the forest, it's no longer paved, but it's still fairly easy to cycle. Above Daubach, the road leads towards the Eckweiler abandoned village and the Eckweiler Church. Then continue left towards the L230 and the Entenpfuhl Forestry Office, or turn right down to Rehbach/Bockenau. Various gravel paths branch off from the L230 uphill through the Soonwald forest, which are easy to cycle on and some are signposted for bicycles.
