View of the Taunus from Georgenborn

Highlight • Viewpoint

Georgenborn itself is not much to look at, but if you are planning a tour that connects the Taunus and Rheingau, you should continue via this town to Wambach, Bärstadt …

If you want to get to know the Rheingau, you should visit Eltville rather than Rüdesheim.
We recommend treating yourself to a Riesling at the wine tasting stand (on the Promenade) and gazing at the Rhine, lost in thought.

Eltville Market Square

Eltville Castle (Eltville Fortress)

Highlight • Castle

The electoral castle with its official garden, the romantic courtyard, the moat and the idyllic rose gardens is worth seeing and should not be missed. In general, the rose town of Eltville is worth a visit.

Eltville

Highlight • Settlement

Eltville is less well-known than Rüdesheim, but considerably more beautiful; its streets exude pure Rheingau romance.

By the way: Gutenberg, the inventor of printing, once lived here.

Schierstein Harbour

Highlight • Structure

No, of course this isn't Nice or Saint-Tropez, so the boats are smaller 😄.

But the boats and small yachts are certainly beautiful to look at. Plus, it's a wonderful starting point for a walk along the Rhine towards Eltville.
