Rheingau · Eltville am Rhein

Meadow in the Sulzbach Valley Eltville

A pasture in the Sulzbachtal near Eltville am Rhein, where renaturalization through grazing is kept in progress. Camping takes place right in the middle of the herd, on a gravel site directly by the stream. You open the gate yourself using a gate tensioner; when the cattle are out to pasture, the fence carries an electric current. Tame neighbors. The cattle take carrots and apples from your hand. At night, what remains from the day is mainly the sound of the Sulzbach flowing. The Rheingau is right at your doorstep, with Burg Ehrenfels and the Abbey of St. Hildegard; Wiesbaden is eleven kilometers away.1

What VanSite writes

„The renaturation of the Sulzbach valley is maintained through grazing. You can camp right in the middle of the cow pasture! A gravel parking lot directly next to the stream is easily accessible via gate opener.“

Sights in the area1

Ehrenfels Castle

The ruin stands above the Rhine vineyards near Rüdesheim; the climb through the vines pays off with a view of the Binger Loch and the Mäuseturm out in the river.

St. Hildegard Abbey

The Benedictine convent above Rüdesheim; the nuns press their own wine, and the abbey church with its wall paintings makes a quiet stop on grey days.

Biebrich Palace

A baroque residence right on the Rhine bank in Wiesbaden, about eleven kilometres away; the wide palace park is good for a walk in any weather.

Platte Hunting Lodge

A neoclassical hunting-lodge ruin in the woods above Wiesbaden; today a viewpoint and trailhead for Taunus hikes, less rewarding on a wet day.
