For centuries, there have been monasteries of various religious orders in the Rheingau. These monasteries are an integral part of the Rheingau cultural landscape and have significantly shaped the Rheingau. The monastery buildings and churches tell of the faith of the people then and now. People have brought joy and sorrow there and often found answers to their life questions. We invite you to embark on this path. With your feet, your thoughts, and your heart…
The RHEINGAUER KLOSTERSTEIG leads from Kloster Eberbach through four rest points and the monasteries Johannisberg (now castle), Marienthal, Nothgottes, and St. Hildegard in Eibingen to the Marienkirche in Rüdesheim-Aulhausen. The hike can be wonderfully interrupted in Johannisberg. Here you will find accommodation options or can reach Geisenheim station by bus/taxi.
You will walk from monastery to monastery; rest points along the way invite you to pause. Suggestions for this can be found in a pilgrim booklet and at the rest points themselves. The stamps you receive at the monastery stations will identify you as a “true pilgrim.”
Note: You can access the Marienkirche via the phone number +49 (0)6723 60272-32. The key is in a key box located on the rear exterior wall of the church. Please put the key back in the key box after your visit. Thank you!

Safety information
In case of heavy rain:
Smaller sections can become quite muddy after rainy periods. This especially applies to the upper Pfingstbach ravine above Hallgarten, where we recommend a signposted alternative route. We ask hikers to avoid this sensitive section especially in the evening and early morning twilight. The narrow gorge is a sensitive retreat area for the forest inhabitants.

Buses run from Eltville station via Kiedrich to the starting point in Eberbach. (Line 172)
From the end point at Marienkirche, a path (3.1 km) leads to Assmannshausen station.
How to get back to Eberbach from Marienhausen Monastery (end point), Aulhausen:
From Aulhausen, a footpath is signposted to Assmannshausen railroad station (3.1 km, 45 min). RTV operates a call bus service Aulhausen - Assmannshausen (www.r-t-v.de; 06124 7265913). The on-call bus must be booked at least an hour in advance. The Rheingau line (www.vias-online.de) runs from Assmannshausen station to Eltville every hour. From there, there is an hourly bus to Kloster Eberbach. We recommend parking your car in Eltville and taking the bus to Eberbach. This makes it easier to return to the car.
