The gatehouse with a solid base made of plastered limestone and half-timbered floors was built in 1746 instead of an older city gate. At times it was a teacher's apartment, school and sexton's apartment.

June 10, 2024,Rieslingschleife 🍇 Wein und Victoria 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️

On our free Monday we wanted to do a few errands at the hardware store and garden center. So it made sense to drive towards Wiesbaden and do our last Riesling loop before shopping. Now we've done all 14.
We wouldn't put the Riesling loop "Wein & Victoria" in Hochheim in the top ten. Actually, it was just asphalt through …

Little by little I will hike the Riesling loops in teamwork with my mom when I'm in my old home of Hofheim anyway.

From Hochheim Südstadt we walk between the vineyards. Everything is still in deep sleep. Here and there the vines are shortened and thinned out.

October 11, 2023,Riesling Schleife - Hochheim 🍇 "Wein und Victoria"

Asphalt throughout, more like a bike ride 🤷‍♀️
This can then be expanded into a nice round with my second tour today in Kostheim.
Met a new flavor of ice cream - peanut/fig. 🍨

You can start the tour at the train station in the south of Hochheim. There are plenty of free parking spaces available there.
There are a few highlights along the route that are worth stopping for. You pass the Queen Victoria monument in the vineyards, pass the sign …

Today again 2 Riesling loops. "Wein and Victoria" is on asphalt the whole time, actually a walking path. The highlight is the Queen Victoria Monument.

October 20, 2023,Riesling Schleife (3): Wein und Victoria

On my way from A to B this afternoon I took a short detour to Hochheim and tackled the 3rd Riesling loop "Wein and Viktoria". Since this only has 8 km, you can easily fit that in. I parked at the train station and then walked counterclockwise - I wanted to keep Hochheim city center open as an option depending …

A short loop on the Riesling Loop near Hochheim in the afternoon; I didn't have enough time or motivation for much more today. Perhaps the morning would have been better, as it was overcast and very gray. The view of the parish church of St. Peter and Paul right at the beginning is truly beautiful. The small old town of …

The old town of Hochheim with its half-timbered houses, church and old fountain is definitely worth a visit. There you can sit in one of the wine taverns or on one of the many benches down by the banks of the Main.
