On the hike along the Hildegard von Bingen Pilgrimage Trail, the universal scholar and probably the most famous personality of the Middle Ages is commemorated. The trail leads through Hildegard's land over around 135 kilometers.
The trail runs past historic sites where Hildegard lived:
Niederhosenbach as her probable birthplace and family seat;
Disibodenberg, where she entered the monastery and lived for almost 40 years (1112-1150);
Sponheim, where Hildegard was given to her teacher Jutta von Sponheim at the age of eight (1106); and
Bingen am Rhein, where she founded her own women’s monastery (around 1150).
The final stations on the pilgrimage trail are the St. Hildegard Pilgrimage Church in Rüdesheim-Eibingen with the Hildegard shrine and the St. Hildegard Benedictine Abbey in Rüdesheim-Eibingen.
Author’s recommendation
For the visit to the Disibodenberg monastery ruins, a little time should be planned in order to enjoy the atmosphere peacefully.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
