Welterbe-Weinberg

The World Heritage vineyard is located on the slope above the cemetery. It borders the Rheinsteig, and the historic merchant's path is also integrated. A circular path leads visitors through the vineyard to a viewing platform with an individual bench. For the construction of the terrace, dry stone walls and vineyard steps have been artfully erected. From the original "Stickelbank" on the viewing platform, a magnificent panoramic view of the World Heritage site Upper Middle Rhine Valley is presented. The bench (6 meters long) is made of pointed oak woods – a work of art in a prominent location. The wine is sold in the tourist information office of Lorch in the wine shop at Hilchenhaus. A geological circular hiking trail of 1.5 kilometers in length also passes by the World Heritage vineyard.
