Tips from the Community
The Flörsheimer Warte, a former watchtower, was part of the Kasteler Landwehr in the 15th century, which the Archbishopric of Mainz had established to protect its possessions on the right bank of the Rhine. After secularization (1803), the Landwehr lost its importance, as there was nothing left to defend due to lack of substance. The Flörsheimer Warte gradually fell into ruin. In 1996, a reconstruction based on historical models was built next to the relics of the medieval defensive tower. From here, there are magnificent panoramic views in all four cardinal directions over the Rheingau and the Taunus to the Frankfurt skyline. The popular excursion restaurant "Flörsheimer Warte" with a wine garden and weekend winter lounge invites you to enjoy Spundekäs, Handkäs, and Bauernsalat, accompanied by the best drops from the vineyards in Wicker and Hochheim.
