Rivers connect nations, cultures, lands and people — they connect us! And there are two of them in WIESBADEN RHEINGAU – the Rhine and the Main.

On the banks of the Rhine you will find Flörsheim — the gateway to the Rheingau — and Hochheim, whose world-famous vineyards are to be found in the Rheingau. The Rhine, Europe’s lifeline, has so much to tell us — from ancient myths and fairy tales to modern events and experiences. Nature’s whims dictated that the majestic flow of the Rhine in the Rheingau was to shift towards the west, instead of continuing to flow to the north. Ever since, it has fostered the famous Rheingau trio of wine, culture and nature — as well as ensuring the region has a mild climate that invites you to get out onto the water.

So you will find plenty to do along the banks of the river almost year-round. There are over 20 wine-tasting stands, beach bars, lounges and chill-out areas that invite you to enjoy the view — with a glass of wine in fun-loving company.

Follow the flow of the river to discover a luxury location along the Rhine. Wiesbaden’s Schiersteiner Hafen provides a surprising maritime feeling in the middle of an urban centre. It’s a lovely area filled with bars, lounges and restaurants right in the middle of the region’s capital city. If you prefer sand and sun, you’ll find that here too: at the Weinstrand (wine beach) in Rüdesheimer Hafenpark, a green retreat within the city, or at Bastion Schönborn, the Kasteler Strand beach bar.
