As we take a moment to reflect, it is essential to honor the brave men and women who fought valiantly for the freedoms we cherish today. Their sacrifices have paved the way for us to enjoy fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. This remembrance not only deepens our appreciation for our liberties but also inspires us to uphold the values they fought for, ensuring that future generations can experience the same privileges. The Rhine River, with its stunning vistas, offers a picturesque backdrop, especially during the summer months. The lush vineyards that line its banks create a vibrant tapestry of green, while charming towns dot the landscape, each with its unique character. As you gaze upon the river, you can see various cargo ships navigating its waters, transporting goods and adding to the lively atmosphere. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of majestic castles perched on hilltops, standing as timeless guardians of history. Additionally, the region boasts a diverse array of parks, providing serene spaces for relaxation and exploration, making the Rhine a truly enchanting destination.

Wonderful cable car ride from Rudesheim, views of vineyards and surrounding countryside, very peaceful but a bit chilly in the wind. A short walk to the monument, bit of a hill, but worth it. Amazing views of the Rhine and all around, the monument is massive, really impressive and the history (to read on placards) is very interesting. Nice little outdoor takeaway for drinks and snacks, note.. you pay a deposit for proper cups. Restaurant as well but didn't use it. A place well worth seeing!!

We had a good tour up here, we got the ring tickets which included cable car through the vineyard , chairlift and boat back. The view at the monument is beautiful totally worth it and the hike through the forest to the chairlift is good too.

Impressive monument, fun to ride the gondola up there. There is a little restaurant up there. Impressive views! It's worth going up to see. If the weather is good, it is a nice day. We had poor weather so we didn't stay long. You can ride the gondola down (keep your ticket) or walk down through the vineyards.

Lovely views up here, was on a Rhine tour up through here on the way back to Frankfurt. Amazing views on a blue sky day. One of the best views to end a day

Beautiful spot for a view and photos! Nice walk too! Highly recommend!

We visited on a weekend in summer holidays. Took Cable Car to top of the hill. Waiting was around 45 mins. There is also a hiking path. You can either buy cable cat tickets one way or for round trip. Hike trial takes around 90 mins One can also directly visit the spot by car. To enjoy the view cable car is more recommended.

A private museum with great and unique collection of mechanical musical Instruments. A what is great that is not just exhibition, you receive a 45 minute guided tour, where you you get to know and to hear different instruments. Guides know at least 4 different languages, what is very rare also. The museum was worth every cent I paid. Just be ready that tours start every hour, so you might need to wait a bit.

Best museum I have been to in a long time. I wanted to see all of them play but understandably from a time perspective that just isnt possible. It truly is sad that we have lost so much of that beautiful craftmanship. The building itself is beautiful. The tour guides were very friendly. All in all I would honestly love to return if I am ever in the area again.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. The guide was informative and fun and the history of these incredible contraptions was fascinating. The tour was fast paced and well done.

A small but fascinating museum. I did the guided tour as a group. A vast array of mechanical musical instruments which show how ingenious humans can be when we out out minds to something positive.

A friend of mine recommended Siegfried's Mechanical Music Cabinet Museum, even though they visited almost 20 years ago. I'm so glad I took their advice! The tour guide was absolutely superb—not only were they genuinely funny, expertly switching between German and English, but they were also incredibly knowledgeable and even good on the piano! Their passion for the collection really made the experience. It's a very niche experience, but I'm still scratching my head wondering how all those instruments play themselves with such precision. For the price, it's great value for money and well worth the experience. I highly recommend it!

What a brfilliant museum. We hjad a tour to ourselves and the museum staff allowed us to store our cases in a locked room. We had a good tour around of a number of different rooms containg lots of instruments and ouir guide gave us information about certain machines and demonstrated them. All of them were interesting and fascinating. It was so good to see so many working machines, some huge, some tiny and all producing wonerful music.There are also some very old wall and ceiling paintings in some of the rooms. Even though the tour is only 45 minutes it was good value for money

Wow! The museum not only has a vast selection of player pianos, but player orchestras, too. And much, much more. I learned a lot during our tour. The building itself is a former grand home and is beautiful in its own right. Definitely worth a visit.

The list was good, in the fact that it got you up to a view point with amazing views. But don't bother going to the fort. The exhibits are all in german, you can get a downloaded audio guide to your phone bug you need to remember you ear phones if you want to use inside. Outside you can use it around the fort but it is short. I also struggled to understand why a historical building included a casino, numerous pubs and a youth hostel, was just the most bizarre historical monument site I have been too.

Have visited Koblenz several times but first time to experience the cable car. Had limited time, sadly insufficient to take the castle tour but great views of the city and the confluece of its two impressive rivers. With atypical Germanic efficiency, access & egress to/from the cable car stations is easy & safe for all ages & abilities. Good value for money, would hope to return one day & to do it justice!

This was great fun! Glide over the vineyards in a 2 person gondola. You get nice views of the town, vineyard, and the river. Very relaxing. When at the top of the mountain, there is a huge memorial statue, and sweeping views of the area. There is also a small café where you can get a snack or very light lunch and enjoy the outdoors. We did see people walking down, through the vineyards. If you have time, it looked like fun.

What a fab few hours. Obviously if your afraid of heights you might want to go, but it's very safe and worth going. The monument at the top is massive and breath taking. Worth the trip on its own. You can bike or walk up there, but I personally wouldn't recommend it. It's over 200meter up there.

Ride a cable car, a ski lift and a boat ride too in a beautiful part of the wine growing region in Germany. What wonderful views!

Lovely little cable car lift. Great views. Not cheap 20 euros return, 13 single. We brought the single and walked down.

Awesome way to see the vineyards behind rudesheim, and get some great pictures of the rhine and multiple small towns on either side of the rhine.

Really easy to get there from Frankfurt. Located on the half way top of a hill. The parking is free here. A nice place to go for a hike in near by areas as well. The church is very old and calm.

Beautiful, peaceful, quiet, convent on the north side of the Rhein river. A great place for contemplation, meditation, and prayer. And you can get a glass of wine and something to eat 😀 a wonderful place to just, be.

Very nice and quiet monetary with a beautiful view down to Rüdesheim and Rhine River. There is a huge shop with local produce and wine. It is possible to taste the wine before you buy it👍😀

The Hildegard of Bingen Abbey – A Living Legacy If you’re interested in philosophy – as I am – you will eventually come across Hildegard of Bingen. And the deeper you go, the greater your sense of wonder becomes. She was one of the first women to write in Latin – finding a voice in a world where female thought was largely unwelcome. But Hildegard would not be silenced. She was a philosopher, mystic, healer, composer – and above all, a woman of extraordinary inner clarity. What touches me most is that her true work began only at the age of 50. In the Middle Ages. A time when women were rarely visible in public life – and she steps forward, right then, with full force. You carry that knowledge with you when you enter the abbey. And suddenly, you feel it: her legacy is alive. The abbey is more than just a building. It is lived philosophy, lived devotion. A quiet spirituality that welcomes you without overwhelming. And the moment you step across the threshold, something opens. It’s as if the space widens – and with it, the heart. What greets you is not a suffering Christ on the cross. It is his open hands. Not a symbol of pain, but an invitation. A gesture that says: You are welcome. You may be still. You may feel. You may pray. You may belong. Even the smallest details speak: the script, the beautifully illuminated texts, the way history is shared – nothing feels contrived. It is beautiful. Deep. And somehow timeless. Even the donation boxes, modest as they are, feel like part of the whole – signs that this place is still sustained. By people. By women walking in Hildegard’s footsteps. I will definitely return – the library was closed during my visit. And especially if you love the written word, you come to understand something essential here: In a time when we stare at flickering screens, when our words disappear into messages and feeds, these ancient texts stand still and shining – in gold, in color, in soul. They speak. And they wait for eyes that are ready to truly read again. And the beauty is: it’s so close. So close to Frankfurt. So close to ourselves. This place does not leave you untouched. I’ll return, too, to listen to the sacred chants – because I believe we have so much to learn from them. Thank you for keeping this place open. For all of us.

Currently still observing mask protocols but Cafe and bookstore (I think) are open. Exterior grounds include extensive vineyards and numerous green areas that are perfect for sunning and having a picnic. The courtyards are well-planted and peaceful to relax in. The view of the river and valley are great. The evening (Golden) light makes for simply beautiful views and great photography. The Kloster itself is open for walk-through and is typical of the period and very lovely and nice. Overall a very nice place to visit (repeatedly).

This wonderful and serene convent offers a nice place for contemplation and prayer. The church has a beautiful mosaic of St. Hildegard's life and role in Christendom. The gift shop also has a nice selection of items and books relating to the life of St. Hildegard of Bingen.

I visited the church and the wine shop next to it with my girlfriend. We tried several wines and decided to purchase 4 - 6 bottles of wine including their anniversary wines online. However, just right before leaving, what I heard over there was that the cashiers whispered each other “The asians tried many wines, let’s see if they are really going to buy them :))”. I didn’t expect to receive such a disrespectful and racial comments in the church. In the first place, we intended to buy their products. After the incident, I discussed with my girlfriend and had completely changed our minds. We are not going to purchase their wines nor recommend to visit this place. They have totally spoiled our anniversary day. Maybe, she wasn’t a real sister but rather wearing a costume for Halloween.

I did not go to see the museum however during summer it is one of the best places to bask in the sun with a nice wine with your friends or family. The view over Rhine, Mountains and castles fill your need for hanging out in a good chill location and the people around are extremely nice and welcoming. If you are lucky you would get the smell of German barbecue and who knows maybe you get invited for a wurst or two. The sun keeps Germans in great mood ;)

Great scenery, with great music, and wine.

Live music and delicious wine!

100% residential area with nothing to see for tourists. No services.

My wife and I went hoping to see the museum and the interior of the castle; We were only able to walk around the outside as the museum was closed mid-day on a Friday. Maybe the proprietor had gone to lunch or something. Regardless, the grounds were pleasant, it was quiet and there were some old wine making apparatuses and the castle exterior to take pictures of. Spent about 10 minutes there; Wasn't really worth the walk, wish it had been open.

Big choice of wine, good system of tasting, very nice cafe

We didn't go in but visited the free outside exhibits. A nice selection of various vintages of wine presses. The setting in the vineyards and the old castle was fantastic.

Helpful staff. We took the quick 1.5 hr boat tour that went up and down and back. We were mostly looking for sun and a glass of wine. We got them both! The boat we were on, Bingen-Rüdisheim took cash only! Brilliant day.

I recommend Ring tour. We bought ring tour ticket here. Officers are very kind and they speak English very well. But Ring tour is not available in winter.

Very friendly tourist information point. They give maps in many different languages including Dutch and english. You can buy tickets for a boat tour here.

Very helpful staff and willing to provide information. If you buy the cable car ticket here then you can avoid the queue.

one stop shop for all the information to the local area, tickets for boat ride up river, gondola up the hill to the monument, train schedules ect. english speaking and very helpful.

Very clean and very hot with a beautiful boat trip on the Rine.

Very helpful and right near the park area

Nice visitors centre and actually the cheapest place to buy Asbach - lovely!

Very interesting film and centre. Visit after harvest time if you want to see the distillery working.

Great place. Very nice video of how the company started and has grown.

We come here every time we visit this part of Germany over the last 30 years. This time we even brought our own Asbach bag. One of the 5 bottles we bought leaked when we laid it in our suitcase, so we was returning it. Because our bag was over 20 years old the woman there wasn't going to exchange the bottle. After a lot of talking and us wanting to buy two more bottles she then decided to exchange it. We are now going to find something new for coffee, and after over 20 years returning to Asbach we will not be going back

Amazing experience with such an incredible story and of course fantastic cognac....

From the shop/entrance go go to a small auditorium and see a video and then walk into the old still room but it is staged and nothing actually happens. If you are expecting a distillery tour then best go somewhere else. Then you are back into the shop. For a small price you can try the different products before buying. It's remarkable the differences and it influenced our purchases. Apparently the price in the shop is a lot less than anywhere else.

Very nice building, with very friendly staff. Sadly there is no tour, only a movie that is in german. We skipped the movie because none of us spoke german. We did enjoy the variety of options being Asbach fans.

Great stop at the top of the hill. Take the skiway to the top then enjoy the veiw with a glass of wine a snack then hike you way back down to the city below.

Part of the ring tour out of Rudesheim. Loved it!

Beautiful quaint town with lovely streets to wonder about

A beautiful church

Beautiful

Very peaceful n cozy town to free one's mind n just enjoy the view :-)

(Translated by Google) Great window paintings and a beautifully made flu at Christmas time. The Christmas trees were also beautifully decorated. The colorful cross looks great. (Original) Tolle Fenstermalereien und eine schön gemachte Grippe zur Weihnachtszeit. Die Weihnachtsbäume waren auch schön dekoriert. Das farbenfrohe Kreuz wirkt klasse.

(Translated by Google) The 14th-century St. Jacobs Church on the Market Square is said to have been built by the knight Johann Brömser. There is a weather vane with a crescent moon and star on the tower to commemorate the Crusades in which the knight Bromser participated. The church was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt using stone from Rhine quarries. (Original) 集市广场上的 14 世纪圣雅各布斯教堂据说是由约翰·布罗姆瑟 (Johann Brömser) 骑士建造的。塔上有一个带有新月和星星的风向标，以纪念骑士布罗姆瑟参加的十字军东征。 这座教堂在第二次世界大战期间被摧毁，后使用莱茵采石场的石材重建。

(Translated by Google) The Church of St. Jacob in the city of Rüdesheim am Rhein is really very beautiful. Of course, what is especially pleasing is our flags at the entrance to the church. The church was almost completely destroyed by fire and rebuilt. It is very comfortable inside. Worth a visit! (Original) Церква Святого Якоба в місті Рюдесгаймі на Рейні реально дуже гарна. Ще звісно особливо радує, це наші прапори при вході в церкву. Церква була майже повністю зруйнована пожежою і відбудована. В середині дуже комфортно. Вартує відвідати!

Beautiful Place

A very peaceful place. I was happy to spend some time in prayer here.

A beautiful church

Brilliant pilgrimage...very grateful to visit

Ooi

Wonderful

(Translated by Google) The Catholic pilgrimage and former parish church of St. Hildegard and St. John the Baptist is often referred to simply as St. Hildegard. The building, which had been vacant after being burned by Frederick Barbarossa's troops, was resettled by Benedictine nuns in 1165 by Hildegard of Bingen. The very simple church, both in its exterior and interior, is steeped in history. Hildegard's relics have been in this place since 1641. The shrine is truly beautiful to behold; it may sound a bit macabre, but it's true. The pilgrimage church is definitely worth a visit given the history behind it. (Original) Die katholische Wallfahrts- und ehemalige Pfarrkirche St. Hildegard und St. Johannes der Täufer wird meist nur als St. Hildegard bezeichnet. Das nach Brandschatzung durch die Truppen Friedrich Barbarossas leerstehende Gebäude wurde 1165 durch Hildegard von Bingen mit Benediktinerinnen neubesiedelt. Die sehr schlicht gehaltene Kirche, sei es vom Äußeren sowie als auch im Inneren ist sehr geschichtsträchtig. Die Reliquien der Hildegard befinden sich seit 1641 hier an diesem Ort. Der Schrein ist wirklich wunderschön anzuschauen, mag zwar etwas makaber klingen, es ist aber so. Die Wallfahrtskirche ist ihm Rahmen der Geschichte, welche dahinter steckt, durchaus einen Abstecher wert.

Wonderful opportunity to experience a Sunday worship service with a local German congregation!

(Translated by Google) The interior of the church is aesthetically very pleasing. Free of unnecessary decoration, it helps to clear your head. The pews are arranged in terraces on the left and right, like in a debate room and typical of the time in which the church was built. (Original) Das Innere der Kirche ist ästhetisch sehr ansprechend. Frei von überflüssiger Dekoration verhilft sie zu einem klaren Kopf. Die Kirchenbänke sind links und rechts terrassenförmig angeordnet, wie in einem Debattierzimmer und typisch für die Zeit, in der die Kirche gebaut wurde.

(Translated by Google) Good day. I'm almost 200 meters away from you as the crow flies, and I have to say, you were pretty loud with your bell ringing for 10 minutes... why this length? and why every evening except Sunday at 6 p.m.? Otherwise it is a beautiful church (Original) Guten Tag. Ich eine knappe 200 Meter Luftlinie von euch entfernt,und muss schon sagen,ihr seit mit eurem glockenläuten ganz schön laut uns 10 min lang..weshalb diese Länge? und wieso jeden Abend außer Sonntag um 18 Uhr? Ansonsten ist es eine schöne Kirche

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church. Unfortunately the ringing of the bells is terrible. Someone with a musical ear urgently needs to help. It must be terrible for the residents to endure this chaotic noise for 10 minutes. (Original) Schöne Kirche. Leider ist das Läuten der Glocken schrecklich. Da müsste jemand dringend mit einem musikalischen Gehör nachhelfen. Für die Anwohner muss es schrecklich sein dieses chaotische Gebimmel 10 Minuten zu ertragen.

(Translated by Google) We were there on May 12th. in the store...had come to buy sparkling wine...unfortunately we found out that all types of sparkling wine were significantly more expensive than at corresponding online retailers despite factory sales with a 10 percent discount...when we asked, we only got the answer several times, "I just have no idea there on the weekend,,, This is not customer service, very unfriendly...we won't come back and bought somewhere else!!!! (Original) Wir waren am 12.05. im Geschäft...waren angereist um Sekt einzukaufen...mussten leider feststellen dass alle Sektsorten deutlich teurer als bei entsprechenden Onlinehändlern waren trotz Werksverkauf mit 10 Prozent Rabatt...auf Nachfrage bekamen wir nur mehrfach die Antwort ,,, keine Ahnung bin nur am Wochenende da,,, Dies ist kein Kundenservice, sehr unfreundlich....wir kommen nicht wieder und haben woanders gekauft!!!!

(Translated by Google) Super nice staff and very good sparkling wine! We'll be back (probably on Monday) ;-) (Original) Super nettes Personal und sehr gute Sekte! Wir kommen wieder ( am Montag wahrscheinlich) ;-)

(Translated by Google) It's getting worse! There are signs “Open daily” everywhere - and then you stand in front of the shop and read: “Closed this week due to staff shortages.” The sparkling wine is good. But the fact that such a small company can afford to work like a government agency is astonishing. The availability by telephone alone - the shop cannot be reached at all - is astonishing. Maybe private customers don't play a role here either. (Original) Es wird immer schlimmer! Überall Schilder "Täglich geöffnet" - und dann steht man vor dem Shop und liest: "Wegen Personalmagel diese Woche geschlossen." Der Sekt ist gut. Aber dass es sich so ein kleiner Betrieb schon erlauben kann, wie eine Behörde zu arbeiten, ist erstaunlich. Allein die telefonische Erreichbarkeit - der Shop ist gar nicht erreichbar - lässt staunen. Vielleicht spielen da ja auch Privatkunden keine Rolle.

(Translated by Google) I have known the sparkling wine cellar for a long time. Great sparkling wine - something for every taste and at an incredible price-performance ratio. Drinking a bottle of Herzog yesterday: sensational - what a taste explosion... that's great art! Keep it up & see you soon! (Original) Kenne die Sektkellerei schon länger. Tolle Sekte - für jeden Geschmack was dabei und das zu einem Wahnsinns-Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Gestern eine Flasche Herzog getrunken: Sensationell - was für eine Geschmacks-Explosion .... das ist große Kunst! Weiter so & auf bald!

(Translated by Google) Sorry, it was just there to buy/order bottles for our Christmas party…. After 10 minutes of waiting, I wasn't even spoken to and no one (the lady) paid attention to me, so I was out - regardless of whether you're on the phone or not, YOU SHOULD briefly notice the guest/customer or give a small signal! I'm NOT going there anymore! (Original) Sorry war eben da um für unsere Weihnachtsfeier Flaschen zu kaufen / bestellen…. Nach dem ich aber nach 10 min warten weder einmal angesprochen wurde noch mich jemand (die Dame) beachtet hat, bin ich raus - egal ob man telefoniert oder nicht ,MAN SOLLTE den Gast / Kunden kurz wahrnehmen oder ein kleines Signal geben! Gehe ich NICHT mehr hin!

(Translated by Google) You have to load it yourself but the people are always friendly and nice. (Original) Man muss zwar selbst laden aber die Leute sind immer freundlich und nett.

(Translated by Google) Great tour and delicious sparkling wine. (Original) Tolle Führung und leckerer Sekt.

Great service ! Great wines! Highly recommend.

Amazing service with Jasmin. Thank you for the hospitality.

Very nice Apfelschaumwein!

(Translated by Google) He gave me hints on how to find my favorite wine. We were able to sample 4 types of wine and find the one we liked. (Original) 好みのワインを探すヒントをくれました。4種のワインを試飲して好みのワインを見つけることができました。

(Translated by Google) Nice wine shop, which belongs to the hotel opposite. If you stay overnight at the hotel, a wine tasting is included. Various wines from the area - primarily Rieslings of course - are offered and sold at a reasonable price. Worth a visit or purchase. (Original) Schöne Vinothek, welche zum Hotel gegenüber gehört. Bei einer Übernachtung im Hotel ist eine Weinprobe inkluiert. Diverse Weine aus der Gegend - vorrangig natürlich Rieslinge - werden angeboten und zu einem vernünftigen Preis verkauft. Ein Besuch bzw. Einkauf wert.

(Translated by Google) Nice, well-stocked store where you can find competent employees. Nice advice! However, I only give it 3 stars because the price premium over the winemaker's price of around 90% more is not acceptable. (Original) Schöner gut sortierter Laden, in dem man auf kompetente Mitarbeiter trifft. Nette Beratung! Allerdings gebe ich nur 3 Sterne, da der Preisaufschlag zum Winzerpreis mit rund 90% mehr nicht akzeptabel ist.

(Translated by Google) Super friendly and knowledgeable saleswoman. Free tastings of many wines, as we were staying at the hotel across the street. We were all thrilled and received a lot of information about the wines and the surrounding area. We'd love to come back :) (Original) Super nette und kompetente Verkäuferin. Kostenlose Verkostung vieler Weine, da wir im Hotel gegenüber übernachtet haben. Wir waren alle begeistert, haben viele Informationen zu den Weinen und zur Umgebung erhalten. Kommen gerne wieder :)
