Fresh Rhine Romance

The Rebenhaus has been part of the panorama at Rüdesheimer Niederwald for over a hundred years.
Built around 1880, when the cog railway led to the Niederwald, it was initially a pastry shop and café, and since the 1950s, it has been a popular excursion and observation restaurant.
The greatest attraction has always been the unique beautiful location below the Niederwald Monument and the Temple, with the spectacular view from the terrace over vineyards and the Rhine Valley.

Location

The Niederwald Monument in Rüdesheim am Rhein attracts about 1.8 million visitors annually from Germany and around the world. It is the most visited monument in Hesse. Located at the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley, the monument and its surroundings (the Osteinsche Park) have been beautified in recent years through extensive restoration and modernization work.

Many visitors reach the monument via the cable car from Rüdesheim am Rhein. Directly before entering the mountain station, cable car passengers have a direct view of the Rebenhaus.

If one wishes to walk down to Rüdesheim through the vineyards after visiting the monument, one passes right by the entrance of the Rebenhaus. A staircase leads from the temple to the vineyard paths.

The famous and well-promoted Rheinsteig is an established hiking trail between Wiesbaden and Bonn. It passes right by the Rebenhaus. Hikers have a view of the building with its large terrace while walking through the vineyards, and can take the staircase towards the temple.
