Maps and trails
Geographically, Rieden is located between the Rhine and the Eifel, which makes it an ideal starting point for outdoor activities. The surroundings of Rieden are characterised by rolling hills, wide fields and meadows as well as dense forests - a paradise for hiking or cycling tours.

One of the most famous sights in Rieden is Olbrück Castle from the 11th century with its impressive tower, from which you have a breathtaking view over the valley. The 13th-century St. Laurentius Church is also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights include, above all, the annual wine festival in August as well as the traditional shooting festival in July, where you can experience the local culture up close.

The culinary scene in Rieden is dominated by regional cuisine such as hearty game stew or delicious asparagus dishes during the season. The local wines from the surrounding vineyards are also a speciality - definitely try them!

If it rains there are still plenty of things to do: How about a visit to the volcano park, for example, or a guided tour through a nearby stalactite cave?

The most beautiful time in Rieden is when the sun is shining and you can stroll through the picturesque landscape or take a bike tour. The view of the valley from Olbrück Castle is particularly recommendable.

Overall, Rieden as a destination offers everything you could wish for in a relaxing holiday: pure nature, cultural highlights as well as culinary delights - a perfect place to relax and enjoy!

    Toller Weg! Zu frühen Zeiten auch Hundegeeignet. Hunde dürfen aber nicht in den See! Gibt allerdings einen zulaufenden Bach. :) Parkplatz direkt am Einstieg. Parkgebühren können mit Karte bezahlt werden.

    Eine sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Wandertour mit vielen Highlights die etwas Kondition voraussetzt aber mit vielen Pausen auch ohne diese gut zu schaffen ist. Tolle Sehenswürdigkeiten. Mein Tipp: Marxe-Lay auf jeden Fall mitnehmen. Hier kann auch gut eine Pause gemacht werden, an Hochtisch und Hochbank. Aber dazu gibt es immer wieder Möglichkeiten mit tollem Ausblick. Kurz vor Ende der Tour eine wundervolle große alte Buche. Am Schluss noch etwas vom Eisenhaltigen Quellwasser des Erlenbrunnens mitnehmen.

    Letzte Woche Samstag war ich dort bei sonnigem Wetter. Hier bietet sich eine ganze Reihe an Wechselreichen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Plätze für eine Rast liegen an sehr schönen Aussichtspunkten und lassen Raum für Ruhe. Eine gewisse Grundkondition sollte man hier mitbringen. Hier ist der Name Programm.

    Ich bin die Vier Berge Tour heute vormittag (Dienstag) gewandert und bin begeistert. Wunderschöne, abwechslungsreiche, Tour. Dank der tollen Beschilderung kann man sich nicht verlaufen, Rastmöglichkeiten gibt es mehr als ausreichend. Zum Glück ging ich gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, denn zum Ende hin kamen mir ein paar Wanderer entgegen. Wer, so wie ich, Ruhe möchte, startet idealerweise früh morgens. Geparkt habe ich am Erlenbrunnenparkplatz, aber es gibt diverse Park-/Startmöglichkeiten. Zweiräder sind mir nicht begegnet :)

    Habe diese Tour am 07.11.2025 bei bestem herbstlichen Sonnenschein gemacht. Tolle Streckenführung, kleine Wege, wunderbare Aussichten aber ganz schön viele Höhenmeter. Eine andere App zeigt für die selbe GPX fast 600 Höhenmeter. Leider kann man nicht mehr auf den Gänsehalsturm steigen, weil die Tür verschlossen ist.
