Rüdesheim

Rüdesheim is not only one of the towns in the Rhine valley with the most tourists but also in the whole of Germany. On the one hand you have the hustle and bustle of the famous “Drosselgasse” and the Rhine promenade, on the other there are quiet, cosy corners which invite the visitor to linger. Rüdesheim can look back on Roman roots and has the oldest castle on the Rhine, the Brömser castle. The footpath through first-class vineyards takes you to the “Niederwalddenkmal” where the giant iron

“Germania” keeps watch over the Rhine. From here you have a view over the Rheingau, the estuary of the river Nahe, the entrance to the Middle Rhine valley and Rheinhessen. This is also the starting point for numerous walking trails. Looking down to the town, your view will be of noble half-timbered houses, various taverns and romantic lanes. You can try a “Rüdesheimer  Kaffee” which is made with the speciality of Rüdesheim, Asbach Uralt brandy, and is one of the tasty indulgences besides the wines from the best Rüdesheim vineyards.
