St. Lambertus Catholic Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Such a magnificent church is something special for a village. The Romanesque basilica is newly renovated and I found it open.

While hiking through the wine hills, this wine path brings interesting insights into the job of the winemaker using various vines and various historical plows.

In the middle of Mettenheim you stand here in front of two particularly beautiful buildings in Rheinhessen. The historic town hall was built in the second half of the 16th …

June 18, 2025,RheinTerrassenWeg - Von Osthofen nach Mettenheim (E2)

"Expanses and vineyards dominate the Rhine Terraces Trail near Osthofen. The cultural highlight is the Bechtheim Basilica, before this stage ends in the wine-growing village of Mettenheim."

Yes, it is a "cultural hiking trail," starting from the wine-cultural landscape and continuing on to the wine villages and cultural highlights such as the aforementioned (and very worth seeing) Bechtheim Basilica.
And …

The second leg of the Rhine Terrace Trail is even shorter than the first, so despite the train cancellation, you can still stroll along – assuming the forecast thunderstorms stick to the weather forecast and don't gather until late afternoon. A quick glance at the trail information board at the Osthofen train station and you're ready to go.
With the …

The Rhine Terrace Trail from Osthofen to Mettenheim

Unfortunately, only a short detour to the Osthofen concentration camp 😔
Further information at gedenkstaette-osthofen-rlp.de

A hike with gentle ascents and descents. Vast landscapes and idyllic wine-growing villages characterize the hiking experience. Thanks to several sights (I'll leave out the concentration camp 😔, but it's still a memorial), there's plenty of culture …

Today we tackled the second stage of the RheinTerrassenWeg. On the way to Worms and also at the beginning of the tour, we were still a bit skeptical whether the weather would be as good as announced. It was all in a thick haze. Only the feet of the wind turbines could be seen and it was still a bit …

A very beautiful tour through the vineyards (identical to the Luther Trail). The weather was fantastic. Unfortunately, there was no shade.....

We parked at the train station in Osthofen. There is ample free parking.

"On the 2nd stage of the RheinTerrassenWeg you can enjoy the landscape to the fullest. 10 kilometers of the most beautiful nature through extensive vineyards with great views of the Rhenish-Hessian hills and the Rhine plain. Culture, history and physical well-being are not neglected either.

A little …

This was the second stage of the Rhine Terrace Trail from Worms to Mainz. Can't be compared with the first stage, far better. The journey begins to be fun. Although it only goes straight ahead for 800m through the vineyards, it always has beautiful views and is somehow nicer than on the first stage. Bechtheim is very beautiful, a cute …

After I have often heard from friends in the last few days that they no longer dare to ask me whether I hike with them ("we can't keep up with you ... we can't or don't want to run ..." ), I will go short distances in the near future. In the hope that they will take me back with …
