Highlight • Cafe

Friendly integrative café at the St. Hildegard Abbey. The special thing about this café is the collaboration with the Rheingau Werkstätten Rüdesheim. People with disabilities or learning disabilities also work in the café!

February 20, 2026,Rüdesheimer Hildegardweg 🚶🏼‍♀️ 🚶🏼‍♂️

After waking up to glorious sunshine this morning, we decided to take a stroll through the vineyards of Rüdesheim. A local hiking trail here is the "Rüdesheim Hildegard Trail." Since we were arriving by car, I had chosen one of the free parking lots "Auf der Lach" as our starting point. The sun had hidden behind clouds by the time …

Unfortunately, I don't have any records of my Hildegardweg leg from Stromberg to Bingen yesterday, as my trusty 6.5-year-old cell phone died just beyond the Ruhewald forest above Waldalgesheim. I didn't bury it there, but I quickly revived my hopes of being able to revive it.

May 14, 2022,Rüdesheim: Rüdesheimer Hildegardweg (Rheingau)

ich-geh-wandern.de/r%C3%BCdesheimer-hildegardweg-rheingau

In the Catholic Church, Hildegard von Bingen is revered as a teacher of the church - there were not even forty of them in the more than 2000-year history of the church and only four of them were women. It is therefore not surprising that visitors and pilgrims still flock to the pilgrimage church of St. Hildegard in the …

The path led me through the Rüdesheim vineyards up to the Abbey of St. Hildegard. First came Eibingen, then it became quieter, wider, and more beautiful.
There, in the cool silence of the divine house, the bones of Saint Hildegard von Bingen watch over the seekers. It is a place where time holds its breath – a moment of stillness …

Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was a German Benedictine nun, abbess, poet, composer, and an important polymath with a wealth of knowledge about nature and medicine.
Her relics are located in the parish church of Eibingen.
50 Benedictine nuns still live in St. Hildegard's Abbey today – the monastery café and shop rounded out our visit 🤗.

August 19, 2023,Hildegardweg, Rüdesheim

Today the Hildegardweg was explored from/to Rüdesheim train station. A really nice path through the vineyards and a visit to St. Hildegard Abbey with a view along the Rhine Valley is definitely worth it and invites you to take a break and pause before continuing.....

A very varied deceleration tour. Starting at the easily accessible parking lot of the Abbey of St. Hildegard, above Rüdesheim am Rhein, we went over vineyard paths and well-paved hiking trails to Rüdesheim. In good weather you have a very good view over the Rhine towards Bingen and Rheinhessen.
