Mettenheimer Schlossberg

Mettenheimer Schloßberg

Cheers to Count Casimir!

Yes, Mettenheim had a castle; and a residential castle at that! It no longer exists, but there are many other historic buildings in the town center. Half-timbered houses, baroque church, count's rent office (chancellery and administration building) were built by count Johann Kasimir Kolb von Wartenberg. From 1709 Mettenheim became the property of the counts of Wartenberg. The site name refers to a castle built in 1726. Mettenheim is located on the beautiful Rhine terrace. Hikers discover this region best via RheinTerrassenWeg. In the middle of the location, the small lookout point "Odenwaldblick" with a bench invites you to take a rest (not covered). If you are looking for protection from the rain or a shady spot, you can use the roofed cycling and hiking hut. A variety of grape varieties thrives on fertile loess.

Bechtheimer Geyersberg

Bechtheimer Geyersberg (Vulture hill of Bechtheim)

Rieslings under the wings of birds of prey

In Medieval times, birds of prey were called vultures (German: “Geier”). And these animals are indeed the eponym here. The mountain used to have wooded areas and vultures nested there. The location was already mentioned in documents around 1500 with the name "ym nesten geierßbuhl". On the carbonate-rich loess soils with a high lime content, mainly Rieslings grow, but also many other grape varieties. The wines from there are powerful and expressive – just like birds of prey.
