Heathland

Highlight • Natural

This is the scenic highlight of the Hiwwelroute and is rightly a NANTURA 2000 protected area. You wouldn't expect something like this in the hilly landscape of Rhenish Hesse.

Very varied, instructive tour with only a few inclines.

May 18, 2023,Siefersheim: Hiwweltour Heideblick 🦋 🍇

It started with a good-humored group in Siefersheim “Am Gänseborn”. Short through the streets and we were in the middle of vineyards. We decided to walk counter-clockwise, which is normally easy to do on a Hiwwelt tour. But since we talked in detail during the entire hike, we had to walk a few meters more - which did not spoil …

I also took advantage of the beautiful weather today and hiked my third Hiwweltour. Forest, field and wing, there is something of everything. The heather was impressive and the numerous swarms of starlings chirped my ear every now and then, it was a nice circular hike.

It's certainly a wonderful tour at any time of the year. The vineyards and the heathland are well combined, the paths are solid and nice to walk on. Definitely recommended!

Nice tour. Started in Neu Bamberg. The first kilometers to the Adler monument deserve the name "Rowan Tree Path". If you park near the "Katzensteiger Mühle" and start there, you can still take the short loop from the fairy tale trail.

From the parking lot you first go through the town of Siefersheim to the actual start of the Hiwweltour. It starts directly in Wingert with many small wine houses and seating areas.
The first highlight was the Ajax Tower, which you could see from afar. The oldest vineyard storm in Rheinhessen from 1865. Continue along narrow paths, through a wooded …
