    This open-air gondola dates back to the 1950s, but it has been very well-maintained and still gives a quiet, gentle ride over the vineyards up to wonderful viewpoint at the Niederwald monument. On a nice day (as we had), riding in the open air is a plus for the experience. There will be a lot of people at the top, but the viewing area is large enough that it is rarely crowded.

    I've been in Rudesheim three times. It is a lovely town, and worth exploring, but this gondola/sesselbahn remains my favourite thing to do in Rudesheim.

    We were on a river cruise and after wandering around the town and visiting their Christmas market decided on Siegfrieds Mechanical museum.
    It houses over 350 instruments and spread the development across 3 centuries. We took the 45 min tour - worth while- must say the lady quite was excellent - turned the appliances on , sang, had a bit of a jig .
    The collection is housed in a medieval home and you can still see the paintings on the roof space. It has massive player pianos, miniature music box ( I’m sure I saw that one on antique roadshow) as well as gramophones.
    Admission was only €10 each - well worth the admission price.

    Fabulous views - even in winter. Very well maintained. The food at the cafe is excellent (fondues and excellent strudel). Great way to see the area and children loved the cable car

    It was fun walking up and down this narrow alley with all the restaurants, shops, and wine stores. If you ever visit this town, well worth visiting. The whole town is actually fun to walk, and there are Xmas stores.

    Take your choice, walk through the vineyards (uphill) or drive to the Abbey. This was a pleasant way to spend a lazy afternoon. If you opt to drive there is plenty of free parking at the Abbey. I even saw a couple of Recreational Vehicles parked there, and of course the ubiquitous tour bus! The church, like most in Europe, is an active church with patrons on site to worship. With this in mind, please be respectful and keep noise and talking at a low volume. The church has a pictorial (not sure if it's mosaic or fresco) of Christ's life and opposite is a depiction of St. Hildegard's life. Pretty and worth the trip and time, but, I was not awestruck.

    We enjoyed our visit to the Asbach Distillery. I went because my husband wanted to go. I am now glad I went. There is a lot of history behind the art of Brady distillery.

    We were touring along the Rhine in Germany & we visited the lively town of Rudesheim. This town is famous for the Asbach brandy. We had a walk round the pretty little streets & had a traditional Rudesheim coffee made for us with the local brandy.

    Unfortunately we arrived after it closed, but we were able to check out the grounds and view the castle. The place is conveniently located right off the Rhine River and close to city center. It would have been nice to enter the building to learn more of its history.

    Our small tour group enjoyed our visit to the wine cellar cave. Hans is entertaining and he keeps the wine flowing. We tasted 3 and most of us chose to purchase the white Pinot. Unfortunately he doesn’t ship in quantity due to theft en route to the States. However a bottle or two can be enjoyed in your stateroom or hotel room

    Quaint little town to walk down the alleys. Christmas market in town and streets are decorated. Good restaurants to eat everywhere. Enjoy the local white wine. Can get here by car, train or boat down the Rhine.

    This church, now the Parish church of Eibingen, is the former monastery church of the Benedictine monastery, founded by St. Hildegard in 1165 now massively altered of course. In 1998 an extensive interior renovation took place, during which the altar area was redesigned, giving Hildegard pride of place. There are bones of two other persons in glass cases on the wall of this now very modern looking church. The gilded reliquary is lovely, though smaller than I expected. It resembles a building, with the cardinal virtues allegorically depicted on its doors: justice, fortitude, prudence and temperance. On its front and back four saints are portrayed, amongst them St Benedict. There are several steps up to the church and also a long ramp with plenty of parking in front.
