October 15, 2025,🚶🏼‍♀️Weinerlebnisweg Roter Hang - Bin ich denn da im Rebenhimmel?!

Dear fellow hikers, Komoot friends, and Tourkuckers,

Yes, today I was definitely in vineyard heaven, specifically on the Roter Hang between Nierstein and Schwabsburg. World-renowned Rieslings grow here (if there had been a wine vending machine, I would have seen it for myself 🤷🏼‍♀️). The red soil you see again and again is called Rotliegende. The rock, colored by iron …

The circular route, with its 12 stops, explains everything about wine. The route mostly runs on paved country roads. For me, the beginning, with its direct view of the Rhine, was the most beautiful part of the route.

August 23, 2025,Rheinhessen 🍇 - Nierstein "Weinerlebnis Roter Hang"

Early morning exercise 🤭 - Hipping instead of jogging...
Niersteiner Hipping is the most famous and best single vineyard in Rheinhessen and is located in the Grand Cru belt of the Roter Hang. Here, the south-facing and southeast-facing slopes converge, creating a unique climate with the lake-like bend of the Rhine.
A wine tasting is still pending...🍷

March 24, 2025,Rheinblick – Schlossturm Schwabsburg Runde von Nierstein

This spontaneous afternoon hike on the Roter Hang was long overdue. I've driven past it so many times, but today it worked out. There were fantastic views along the Rhine and blooming almond trees, too. I'll definitely come back here. 🙂🍷
