Heidenfahrt Riverside Promenade

Highlight • River

Always beautiful again: cozy benches with a view of the Rhine. In summer, there is gastronomy next door and usually a stand with fresh fruit. And all year round, the restaurant behind the dike.

Ruins of the Eleven-Thousand Maidens Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

The Elftausend-Mägde-Turm (Tower of the Eleven Thousand Maidens) is located on the western outskirts of Stadecken-Elsheim, at the crossing of the old Mainz-Kreuznach road over the Selzbach.

Vineyard swing

Highlight • Structure

A great spot in the vineyards – keep your eyes open, otherwise you'll drive past it and at first you'll only see the bench and the little house.

Gau-Algesheim Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

A very beautiful market square surrounded by the baroque town hall, the community center, and the Catholic Church of St. Cosmas and Damian with its 63-meter-high tower.

There's even a film about it from SWR 4: gau-algesheim.de/der-marktplatz-in-gau-algesheim.

Sun 🌞, blue sky, beautiful villages, orchards, fragrant rapeseed fields, panoramic views, Rhine, horses, young geese, fallow deer, alpacas, rest areas, swings, vineyards, Selztal... Everything was great today, except for the steep climb in Wackernheim😭which wore me out.

April 10, 2022,Obstroute Rheinhessen (Ingelheim) - Jubiläumstour

2 years Komoot😊 Over 330 tours, almost 7000 km and over 107,000 meters of altitude on foot or by bike.
Today I went with the eBike on the fruit route, which is practically on my doorstep. I've driven parts of it many times, but I never made it all the way because I kept getting lost. In Ingelheim in particular, …

October 13, 2025,Die Obstroute in Rheinhessen

The weather wasn't ideal for this tour. The haze, however, gave the area a somewhat mystical feel. We didn't see any sirens (such as the Lorelei) on the Rhine, though, and we'll visit the Mäuseturm (Mouse Tower) tomorrow.
It was still a wonderful tour through the wine-growing hills on the left bank of the Rhine. Recommended for a follow-up, especially …

May 14, 2024,Obstroute Rheinhessen (Ingelheim)

The fruit route is on my doorstep and I don't have to plan anything, so it's actually ideal when I don't have much time, like today. So I do it every now and then - but today I realized again that I don't really like it that much. It goes through built-up areas quite a lot: first through Schwabenheim, then …

In mid-April you can still see many flowering trees, a week earlier it would certainly have been even more intense.

June 10, 2023,Obstroute ab Gau-Algesheim

The fruit route is a beautiful tour on almost entirely paved roads. Only the section along the Rhine is naturally bound surface, which is only recommended in dry phases. Otherwise it is better to use the path signposted as a fruit route.
The route is almost completely signposted with the fruit symbol. Two steep climbs have to be mastered, not …

May 18, 2022,Obstroute Rheinhessen (Ingelheim)

My time window was a bit limited today and so I drove the fruit route again. Counterclockwise this time. From Heidenfahrt to Ingelheim I didn't take the official route, but walked straight along the Rhine. Unfortunately, the ice cream parlor in Gau-Algesheim wasn't open yet, they don't open until 12 noon. I didn't have to stop that often because I …
