On the trail of Bingen's history

Varied city tours through the city on the Rhine

A city tour shows you the many facets of Bingen. Historical buildings. The winegrowing. Famous guests of the city. But it was above all the citizens who made the Rhine city what it is today. They have shaped the city and still shape it.

Klopp Castle is the most prominent landmark of Bingen, next to the Bingen Mäuseturm. It was destroyed many times and rebuilt by the citizens of Bingen. During the exciting guided tour of Klopp Castle you will follow its over 700-year history.

A somewhat different kind of tour at Klopp Castle is the costume tour. The bailiff Bernhard von Breidenbach will tell and show you the history of the castle in traditional Renaissance costume. You will be given a special and very entertaining view of the old castle. But it is not the only guided tour for which the tourist guides dress up.

Even adults are sure to discover new aspects about the role of man in the cycle of nature. A forest district manager will guide you along the adventure trail in the Bingen Forest with lots of interesting information and stories about the forest and its inhabitants.

Grave monuments tell history

A piece of city history rediscovered: The Old Cemetery

Already the probably most famous "son of the city of Bingen", the poet Stefan George, dedicated a passage to him in his childhood memories "Sundays on my land". Even in 2007, the monument topography of the Mainz-Bingen district devoted two pages to it and its beautiful gravestones: And yet the Old Christian Cemetery on Rochusallee, the resting place of the citizens of Bingen from 1822 until the 1920s, is no longer a household name to many Bingers today. Anyone who happens to walk through it thinks it is a small park in the heart of the city. This makes it all the more important to remember its history and its significance in terms of art and cultural history.

Joshua collector

The Rochusberg is a beautiful corner for walks with views of Rheinhessen, the Nahe Valley and the Rheingau plus the Rhine. A place of strength on a line with the Donnersberg. Hence the Rochus Chapel, which is definitely worth a visit with its stone carvings as well as the grove around it. In autumn all the colors of the vine leaves from green to yellow and ocher to red...

Christopher Kubaseck

The Rochusberg is very beautiful for hiking all around. Everywhere are benches to rest and picnic and enjoy the beautiful view in every direction. Partially at various vantage points are available barbecue areas that you can use after prior registration.

Silvia W.

Rochusberg is a beautiful place, for walking and recharging your batteries. There is ample parking at the Rochuskirche pilgrimage church. A beautiful circular path with references to Hildegard von Bingen lead through the vineyards. The view from the Rochuskirche into the Rhine valley is beautiful.

Manuela Seiter

The museum at the river is great built and very informative, we were there especially because of Hildegard von Bingen. Not to be missed!

Andrea

The park at the Mäuseturm and the beautifully designed Kulturufer are essentially thanks to the successful State Garden Show of 2008. When the weather is nice, countless visitors flock to this place on weekends. It is simply a beautiful destination for young and old with a wonderful view over the Rhine.

Bettina Link

The Kulturufer, a former state garden show area from 2008, is still beautifully maintained and diversified 10 years later, invites you to relax and linger, gardens above, including harbor promenade, playground and catering also available, free parking.

C. Sch.

The Kulturufer is a beautiful, well-maintained facility that is definitely worth a visit. In addition to the ship berths, there is a well-balanced gastronomy. There are free (!), clean toilets, which other cities can take an example! This park is a success!
