St. Peter and Paul Parish Church (Hochheim am Main)

Highlight • Religious Site

Unique location on the edge of the old town with a wonderful view of the Hochheim vineyards and the Rhine-Main plain. Don't let the forged fences behind the church put you off entering the Belvedere: the door on the left was open when we visited! After that, you can still start beautiful hikes from there.

Rüsselsheim Fortress

Highlight • Castle

This hiking highlight (section) also points to a tour through the fortress moat. One round is recommended. In addition to some benches, the well-preserved ramparts are visible. Only the foundations of the towers are visible, as they were blown up by the French in 1689. In winter and when it is wet, the moat can be uncomfortably cold and damp compared to the surrounding area.

Opelsteg

Highlight • Bridge

The Opelsteg runs along the former Opelhafen. Previously this area was inaccessible. The Opel factory had to be bypassed extensively via Mainzer Strasse. The Opelsteg is a real highlight, which always offers new insights due to its proximity to the water.

Where else in Germany can you see a large river flowing into an even larger one? Definitely worth seeing.

Old Town of Hochheim am Main

Highlight • Settlement

The old town is well worth seeing and there are lots of estate taverns and wine taverns - when everything is open again.
Tips are the Gutsauschank Preis or Mitter-Velten.
