October 15, 2025,🥾Rieslingschleife Flörsheimer Schweiz🍁

The weather forecast said 🌞, so we decided to walk a Riesling loop in Hesse. Parked in Wicker by the cemetery, we took a short path to the starting point. Awaiting us were vineyards, a beautiful nature reserve, lots of walnut trees, the iron tree, views of the Frankfurt and Rüsselsheim skyline with the Opel, St. Anna Chapel, the "Alte …

April 21, 2025,Riesling Schleife Flörsheimer Schweiz

The short loop through Flörsheim Switzerland was my Easter walk. Aside from the airplane noise—there were even periods of peace and quiet—it was a nice alternative when you don't want strenuous climbs, but also not completely flat. And you could actually enjoy plenty of birdsong among the large metal birds. Unfortunately, the rain came earlier than forecast, which somewhat spoiled …

Today I followed a tour suggested by komoot, the "Riesling Schleife Flörsheimer Schweiz" tour / komoot.com/de-de/smarttour/e1795348259/riesling-schleife-floersheimer-schweiz?ref=wdd
I changed the start and end points slightly, but overall it is a beautiful tour in Flörsheimer Schweiz.
Perhaps it would have been better to do the tour in a month or two, as nature is not yet ready, but there was still a …

November 18, 2023,👍Riesling-Schleife "Flörsheimer Schweiz" Regionalpark Rhein Main

As of this year, there are 14 Riesling loops in the Rheingau in addition to the Wispertrails. Theme of wine, vineyards and nature.

Of course I think it's great, circular routes with great signage are exactly my thing. I'll test some now and then. Today number 1, from Wicker the gateway to the Rheingau.

September 2, 2023,Rieslingschleife 🍇 Flörsheimer Schweiz 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

In the “Rheingau-Echo” I recently found a reference to the “Riesling loops”. There are 14 routes. rheingau.com/rieslingschleifen
After a stroll through Wiesbaden, we drove on to Wicker and took in the Riesling loop “Flörsheimer Schweiz”, which was the furthest away from us.
The tour is well signposted in both directions. The fact that planes were constantly flying quite low over …

And then “Florsheim Switzerland”, actually a walking path but with a bit of a path. The tree sculpture and the Flörsheimer Warte are the highlights of the tour

The end of November was cold, but there was plenty of sun. Just right for the "Riesling Loop Flörsheimer Schweiz".

We enjoyed the little tour. The only downside: During the tour, 98 big planes flew over our heads on their approach to the Rhine/Main area.

February 2, 2025,Sonnige Runde/Flörsheim

The hiking group "Hiking in Rhein-Main", today led by @Horst , went from Hochheim via the former lime kilns over the Flörsheimer Warte and the Eisenbaum back to Hochheim. I joined in for the best part.
Curt was able to romp around with Emil and Mücke, a young Irish terrier. And he learned not to lose track in larger groups.
