Lorchhausen
In-between vine slopes Lorchhausen is located. It is the west gate to the Rhinegau, the border location between Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate and starting-point of the famous "Rheingau Riesling Route".
The viticultural town is rich in tradition, it was first noted in 1211 in a merchandise register from Eberbach Convent.
Well worth seeing is "Parish Church Bonifatius", which was built in neo-Gothic style. Also "Chapel Clemens" and the tower of the "Old Church" from the 16th century, which was part of the former city's fortifications.
Lorchhausen is ideal starting point for walking on the trails "Rheinsteig" and "Rhein Burgen Wanderweg". Also to the nature reserve called "Engweger Kopf" which is well-known because of its flora and fauna.
