Discover the region

Guide: The geographical location of Kiedrich is particularly attractive. It is located at the foot of the Taunus Mountains and is surrounded by forests, fields as well as numerous rivers such as the Rhine or the Main. The wines from this region are particularly well known - especially Rieslings have their origin here.

Sights: There are many interesting places for tourists to discover. Eberbach Monastery, for example, was the location for the classic film "The Name of the Rose". Johannisberg Castle is also worth a visit - it is said that the first late harvest was documented here in 1775.

Cultural Highlights & Events: Kiedrich regularly hosts cultural events - from the traditional wine festival to art exhibitions. One highlight is the annual "Rheingau Music Festival", where international musicians perform on various stages.

Culinary specialities: Those who like to eat will certainly not be disappointed in Kiedrich! Here you can find regional specialities such as Handkäs' mit Musik (a sour fresh cheese) or try apple wine straight from the barrel.

Outdoor activities: For nature lovers, there are many opportunities to explore the surrounding area. The best seasons are spring and summer, when you can hike or cycle through the vineyards. In winter, the Taunus mountains invite you to go skiing.

Rainless days: Even in bad weather, no one has to be bored in Kiedrich! A visit to Eberbach Monastery is highly recommended even in rainy weather. Alternatively, a trip to nearby Frankfurt is a good idea - there are numerous museums here as well as the famous Städel Museum.

    Tolle Route, abwechslungsreiche und gute Wege, insgesamt 400 Höhenmeter, die dadurch schöne Aussichten ermöglichen. Kleine Highlights: Bubenhäuser Höhe, Salzquelle, Kirche von Kiedrich und natürlich viele Weinberge🍇

    Diese schöne Rheingau-Runde bietet viele Aussichten und Abwechslung. Ich habe sie um eine Extratour zu den Schlössern Vollrads und Johannisberg ergänzt und dafür die Ortsdurchfahrt von Rüdesheim weggelassen- waren dann auch 40 km.

    Ich bin die Woche von Braubach bis Kiedrich (bzw. Erbach) gewandert und war einfach mehr als begeistert :-)!!! Großes Lob an alle Beteiligten des Rheinsteigs! Meine Erwartungen wurden wirklich deutlich übertroffen. Es ging zumeist über schmale Pfade, abwechselnd an den Rhein und in die Idylle des Waldes, steile An-und Abstiege, vorbildliche Pflege der Wege und Beschilderung, etliche tolle Rastplätze. Es war ein super toller Urlaub auf dem Rheinsteig!!! Die einzige Etappe, die mir nicht so gut gefallen hat, war von Lorch nach Rüdesheim. Leider viel harter steiniger Boden, kaum Pfade und viel Forstwege (v.a. um das Niederwalddenkmal).

    Kurze, abwechslungsreiche Rundwanderung durch Weinberge, Wälder, über Wiesen und vorbei an einem Hühnerhof. Tolle und aussichtsreiche Einkehrmöglichkeiten: Der Riesling schmeckte uns im Schwarzen Häuschen und Kloster Eberbach. In Kiedrich geht’s eine Weile an der stark befahrenen Straße vorbei, glücklicherweise nicht allzu lang.

    Eine insgesamt schöne Tour mit weiten Fernsichten. Wegen der Strecken auf Weinbergswegen (teilweise unangenehmer Schotter) gibt es aber keine 5 Sterne.

    Beautiful hike! Did it in combination with stage 2. Sometimes there could be more signs on the path. Loved that this route actually passes by a lot of wineries and restaurants 🤗

    Schöne Lauf- und Wanderstrecke! Es gibt zwar keine durchgängige Beschilderung, aber wenn man der sehr ausführlichen Wegbeschreibung unter https://www.outdoor-fitness-schlangenbad.de/galerie/rundwanderweg/ folgt, ist der richtige Weg mit ein wenig Orientierungssinn problemlos zu finden.

    Spätestens mit dieser Etappe verliert der Rheinsteig sein Steig-Niveau und geht in einen wunderschönen "Pilgerweg" über. Die Eindrücke auf der Tour durch die Reben des Johannisbergs sind fast unbeschreiblich. Man ist mittendrin: in der Weinromantik. Hinzu kommt der Blick in das Rheintal, das sich auf dieser Etappe "entfaltet" und aus seiner Enge zwischen Filsen und Lorch heraustritt. Einfach fantastisch. Ich habe auf meiner Tour im Hotel Schwarzenstein (in dessen Gästehaus) übernachtet. Das liegt direkt am Weg und man kann morgens schon sehen, durch welch schöne Ebenen man weiterlaufen wird.
