The Best Vineyard View in the Rheinhessen Region for 2012 can be found on Nierstein’s Brudersberg. In clear weather, the view extends east ward over the Hessian Ried region as far as Frankfurt, north-eastward to the Taunus Mountains with the Großer Feldberg, and south-eastward over the Rhine River Loop near Oppenheim as far as the Odenwald with the Melibokus hill.

The Rheinhöhenweg trail runs halfway between Alsheim and Mainz, heading up to the Bruderberg, which is also known as the Niersteiner Loreley. Amidst the Ölberg, Kranzberg, Pettenthal, Hipping, and Spiegelberg vineyards, the Brudersberg is the cream of the crop on Nierstein’s Roter Hang (“red slope”) which is distinguished by its worldclass Rieslings.
