Alzey - Bad Kreuznach - Mainz - Worms - Nahe - Rhein The Rheinhessen region in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate stretches between the cities of Mainz, Worms and Bingen am Rhein. Bounded by the Rhine to the north and east, the "land of 1,000 hills" is today the largest wine-growing region in Germany. Numerous wines mature here in the winegrowers' cellars, the most famous of which include Riesling and Dornfelder. Due to the mild climate and the good soil, not only countless types of wine grow in the region, but also a large number of fruit varieties. In addition to the gentle hilly landscape with orchards and vines, the idyllic river valleys and the historic towns with numerous sights are also characteristic of Rheinhessen. The settlement history of Rheinhessen can be traced back to the Celts, Clear traces of the Celtic-Roman past are particularly visible in the city of Mainz. In addition to Roman buildings, the imposing cathedral in particular attracts visitors to the state capital. Another large cathedral city is the Nibelungenstadt Worms with the Nibelungen Museum. In Bingen am Rhein, on the occasion of the 2008 State Garden Show, several parks were created directly on the banks of the Rhine, which invite you to stroll along Germany's longest river. The Mouse Tower, a former customs tower that stands on an island in the Rhine, is also known nationwide. The visitor will find an old town worth seeing in the city of Alzey, which is also called the "secret capital of Rheinhessen". Equally worth seeing is the pretty old town of Oppenheim, with its imposing labyrinth of cellars below the town centre. The most important routes in Rheinhessen are the Rhein-Radweg in the east, the Selztal-Radweg in the west and the Hiwwel-Route, which leads through the entire Rheinhessen area. The Zellertal cycle path connects the city of Worms in the east with Marnheim in the west and thus creates a connection to the cabbage and turnip cycle path, which then leads to the Palatinate.
