Today, in the sunshine, we headed to the Rhine Valley vineyards—sunshine and a prime location on Premiumweg. The grapes look good and juicy. Finally, we headed to the hotspot of Germania/Niederwalddenkmal. Of course, there were several cafes, tourists, and crowds—but also very impressive and imposing. (Not destroyed in the war, despite the strategically good visibility).

Today we went from Rüdesheim along the vineyards to Assmannshausen. The place reminded me of the Cinque Terre. We went up and down a well-signposted hiking trail from the Rheingausgut in the Niederwald with historical explanations. In 1774, Count Karl Maximilian von Ostein designed the Niederwald into a romantic landscape park with an English character based on the parks of …

The tour is actually called the "Great Rüdesheimer Runde"
But since I only started at around 2:00 p.m., I left out Rüdesheim 😅!
Will definitely be made up 😉
Otherwise it is a really very nice path through the vineyards with great viewpoints 😎👍
