Travel Guide Oberwesel

A wine-growing village nestled in the valley of the Middle Rhine, Oberwesel is attractive for its atypical architecture. The city is known for its ramparts built at the beginning of the 13th century and reinforced 100 years later. The 16 towers that line the Rhine bank are a beautiful reminder of this medieval heritage. You will also notice that several wineries are installed here, the opportunity to enjoy a wine tasting during your stopover. Moreover, if ever your cruise takes place in September, don't miss the wine market which honors the gastronomy and the diversity of the vintages. On the second and third weekends of September, the festivities transform Oberwesel on the occasion of "Rhine in Flames". Fireworks and a traditional parade are to be seen!
