The waterfront promenade at the Schierstein marina with its Mediterranean flair is not only worth a visit in the summer months. The small town on the Rhine is the gateway to the Rheingau and is not only popular with the people of Wiesbaden with its numerous restaurants and its wine stand right on the harbor. The Roman Jupiter Giant Column on the harbor promenade is just as much a highlight as the numerous storks that colonize the town every year. Hiking trails lead from Schierstein - also directly along the Rhine - past wine tasting stands and wine villages in the Rheingau.
