Oestrich-Winkel

Oestrich-Winkel is best known within Hesse for its long-established Rheingau winegrowing tradition. The town extends along the right bank of the Rhine, below vineyard-covered slopes rising towards the Taunus. Riesling is central to local life, while wine estates, tastings and walking routes connect the riverfront with the growing areas above it. On the Oestrich waterfront, the wooden Oestricher Kran, built in 1745 for loading wine barrels onto boats, recalls the Rhine’s former trading role. The municipality also includes Winkel, home to Schloss Vollrads, one of Germany’s historic wine estates. Move on to other webcams in Hesse to compare landscapes and settings around the Rheingau.
