Hiwweltour Wißberg

On this hike, you will circle the Wißberg, the second-highest elevation in Rheinhessen, also called the „Tafelberg" (Table Mountain) due to its plateau. Between the sweeping views, the tour tells of wine, geology, and culture. On a clear day, your gaze over the hilly landscape reaches as far as the Hunsrück and the Palatinate.

Along the way, some special places set accents. At the Sprendlinger Arena, five stone columns stand in a semicircular formation, along with a panoramic view and a 'table of wine'. At the Rundidum, a glass pane arranged in a half-hexagon with engraved places, you can geographically orient yourself to the vastness of Rheinhessen. A small grove with rare plants and a traditional orchard are also on the path, and the summit cross of the Wißberg marks one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the loop.

Near Gau-Weinheim, the Seminar Pavilion offers a piece of modern architecture in the vineyards. The Kreuzkapelle (Cross Chapel) on the way to Gau-Bickelheim is another landmark of the area. The start and finish are directly at a parking lot. As the loop leads through the Wißberg nature reserve, please stay on the marked paths.
