Stories & Tips

nature

Primeval forces of water, earth, and stone were at work when Rheinhessen, the land of a thousand hills, took shape. These hills are affectionately called "Hiwwel" in the region. They characterize the landscape in Germany's largest wine-growing region. The majestic Rhine forms the eastern and northern border, accompanying Rheinhessen for about 90 kilometers. From the Rhine floodplains in the north to the foothills of the North Palatinate mountain range and the Rheinhessen Switzerland in the south, the nature in Rheinhessen presents itself in diverse ways.
