Discover the region

Oberwiesen is picturesquely situated at the foot of the Donnersberg, the highest mountain in the Palatinate. The region is known for its idyllic vineyards and mild climate. The village itself offers a quiet atmosphere with typical half-timbered houses and narrow alleys.

Most relevant for tourism are the numerous hiking trails around the Donnersberg. In summer, you can hike or cycle along the well-signposted paths and enjoy breathtaking views. In winter, the snow beckons you to go skiing or sledding.

Culturally, Oberwiesen also has a lot to offer: Concerts are held regularly in the historic church or guided tours of the local museum are offered. A special highlight is also the annual wine festival in September, where you can taste the local wines.

For culinary delights, traditional restaurants offer regional specialities such as Saumagen or Leberknödeln. The numerous wineries also invite you to taste their fine wines.

If it ever rains, we recommend a visit to the nearby swimming pool or a wellness centre in the area.

It is particularly beautiful in Oberwiesen in spring, when the vineyards are in full bloom and the village is transformed into a sea of pink and white blossoms. But autumn with its bright colours is also worth a trip.

Summarising: Oberwiesen is an idyllic destination in the Donnersberg district, which impresses above all with its natural and cultural treasures. Whether hiking, cycling or enjoying wine - everyone gets their money's worth here!

    Eine schöne Tour, die sich auch bei mäßigem Wetter gut laufen lässt. Als Rheinhesse war natürlich die "Besteigung" des Kappelbergs der Höhepunkt. Was in Rheinhessen halt so als Berg zählt :-) Bis auf 2 Wanderer war die Route nicht frequentiert (was am Wetter gelegen haben könnte). Es sind nicht zu viele Höhenmeter. Die Route führt großteils durch Wald. Eine weite Strecke führt im Wiesbachtal am Wiesbach entlang. Insgesamt sind es nur wenige Meter mit Asphalt, meistens sind es Wege mit weichen Böden, ein paar Pfade sind sogar auch dabei. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung meiner Tourerfahrung mit vielen Fotos gibt es beim Entspannenden: http://derentspannen.de/2016/10/15/die-besteigung-des-kappelbergs/
