Hiking

Everything that defines Ingelheim am Rhein – that's what the Ingelheimer Auslese promises. Its nearly 13 kilometers offer a full range of nature, cultural landscapes, history, views, and culinary delights. What more could you need for a varied hike around the Mainzer Berg?

The starting point of the loop is the charming castle church in Ober-Ingelheim. To enjoy the promised views, the first climb is uphill. You hike briskly through the vineyards up to the plateau of the Mainzer Berg. Your effort will be rewarded: the view of the Rheingau and the Selztal valley, which accompanies you for the next few kilometers, is simply beautiful.

Along the way, the impressive Bismarck Tower (from which you can enjoy an even better view), stately farms, and steep vineyards await you – typical Ingelheim. Culinary delights are provided by several wineries, offering you local wines and regional cuisine.

View of the Burgkirche in Ober-Ingelheim

Highlight • Religious Site

The castle church only received its name after the unification of the town of Ingelheim. In the new "town of Ingelheim am Rhein," there were several nameless Protestant churches that had to be distinguished. The church was completed in various construction phases until the first half of the 15th century.

Bismarck Tower, Ingelheim am Rhein

Highlight • Monument

This Bismarck tower has stood on the striking Westerberg since 1912. First the steep mountain is conquered and then the stairs inside the tower to get to the viewing platform. But the effort is worth it, because the view of the knee of the Rhine, the Taunus and the surrounding hill country of Rheinhessen is unique. After the exertion you can rest and refresh yourself in the adjoining beer garden.

Selz Bridge near Großwinternheim

Highlight • Bridge

If you come during poppy season, you'll find an entire field near this bridge. Horses are also plentiful along the Selz River toward Ingelheim. Both are very photogenic subjects.

A beautiful walk, the surface makes it easy to walk on even after a long period of rain. We couldn't see very far through the November fog, but it had enveloped the landscape wonderfully gently. But see for yourself. We then walked through a few streets to look at the bright spots in Ober-Ingelheim.

Today the circular hike Ingelheimer Auslese was on the program. A really fine hike that was a lot of fun. Start was at the castle church in Ober-Ingelheim. We hiked the tour clockwise because we wanted to stop at the Waldeck inn at the Bismarkturm. Unfortunately (as of March 11th) company holidays. It also didn't say how long the holidays …

Almost perfectly marked panoramic hike including the southern districts of Ingelheim. On the way on mostly wide Wingerts and field paths, but also sometimes on asphalt (also outside of town), starting from Großwinternheim there are initially wonderful views over the Westerberg and ahead into the Rheingautaunus, e.g. with …

Very nice route around the Selztal. Started at the castle church and walked towards the Bismarck Tower. Up at the heights around the Westerhaus Stud it sometimes looks like the Nordic farms of my childhood. Unfortunately, it was not possible to stop at the wine shop at Schloss Westerhaus, and we were ignored despite a prior email. It's a shame, …

A very beautiful tour through the vineyards of Ingelheim and the old town. We parked near the castle church. There are many rest stops along the way, although some are without shade on hot days.

After I first had to repair the storm damage to the garden shed this morning and my sweetheart has a "back", there was only a small but very fine tour today.
It started at the sports field in Großwinternheim. Up to Westerhaus Castle and then on the ridge to the Bismark Tower. Then down into the Selztal and back up …

Today it was supposed to be a shorter lap in front of the front door and the Ingelheim selection had been on my list for a long time. The official description is below. For me personally it was a great and varied tour, even if I knew most of it either from the Hiwweltouren or the bike. Of course, the …
