Discover the region

Gimbsheim is located on the edge of the Rhine-Main area, between Mainz and Worms. The proximity to the Rhine offers a picturesque landscape for walks or bicycle tours along the river. Due to its location in the middle of the vineyards, Gimbsheim is also known for its wines from the region.

The most important sights are the Catholic Church of St. Peter, Gimbsheim Castle and the "Ried" nature reserve - a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers.

Cultural highlights are offered by regular events such as the annual wine festival or the traditional carnival procession on Shrove Tuesday.

For culinary delights, we recommend the regional specialities such as Palatinate Saumagen or hearty grilled meat at one of the many farmers' markets around Gimbsheim.

In terms of outdoor activities, there are many options: Hike through the vineyards in spring or summer; enjoy water sports activities such as canoeing or sailing in the nearby lake during hot summer days; go cycling in autumn when the leaves turn colourful; In winter, cross-country skiing enthusiasts can test their skills on the snowy slopes.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the theatre in Worms or a guided tour of the nearby Museum of Technology in Speyer. The historic cities of Mainz and Worms are also worth a visit.

In summary, Gimbsheim is a destination known for its picturesque landscape, wines and culinary delights. It offers many opportunities for outdoor activities as well as cultural events throughout the year. A travel guide to Gimbsheim should not be missing from any list of places to visit!

    Ich bin die Tour anders herum gefahren und auch nur den östlichen Teil. Der führt durch das Ried. Die Landschaft ist so wie man sich ein Ried vorstellt. Flach, weite Blicke, öfter mal imposante Bäume mit vielen Misteln. Mir hat es gut gefallen. Der Weg folgt nicht konsequent dem beschilderten "Riedweg". Deshalb bin ich an ein paar Stellen vom Track abgewichen und habe den Riedweg genommen. Anstatt am Rhein entlang nach Gernsheim zurückzufahren, bin ich von Oppenheim weiter Richtung Mainz gefahren. Unten an den Weinbergen entlang. Das bringt nochmal etwas andere Eindrücke.

    Hi, also id.R. meide ich Registrierungen aller Art und bewege mich in keiner einzigen Community dieser Art. Meine Erfahrungen mit der hier beschrieben SUP-Tour zwingen mich jedoch förmlich dazu. Ich fasse mich kurz: die angegebenen 2:50 sind definitiv nicht zu schaffen. Man hat über eine Strecke von ca. 18 KM leichte Gegenströmung (geht nur im Uhrzeigersinn, um mit der Rheinströmung zu paddeln). Ich verfüge über reichlich SUP-Erfahrung und bin mindestens durschnittlich fit. Aber 2:50 ? Never, ever!!!

    Eine wirklich schöne Tour die einen nicht durch die für Rheinhessen typischen Weinberge führt. Heute, Ende Mai, hat uns auf der gesamten Strecke de blühende Holunder mit seinem angenehmen Duft begleitet. Dazu ständiges Vogelgezwitscher und sonst fast kein Zivilisationslärm, außer in der Nähe der L437.

    Sehr schöne Tour entlang des Rheins, des hessischen Rieds und der Rheinhessischen Weinberge. Einfach Tour. Abwechslungsreich durch die beiden Rheinfähren. Eignet sich nicht unbedingt im Hochsommer, da die Strecke kaum durch schattige Gegenden führt.

    Wunderschöne Strecke. Unbedingt zu empfehlen und dann auch einen kleinen Abstecher / eine kleine Pause in den herrlichen Weinorten nicht vergessen. Bei der Umleitungsstrecke über den Rheinterrassenweg wird des etwas hügeliger, aber alles absolut machbar, wenn man ein wenig trainiert ist, bzw. der Akku des E-Bikes gut geladen ist.
