Bruchhausen: Wine Cellar, Viticulture and Hiking Trails
Accommodation in Bruchhausen
Bruchhausen brings two aspects of the town to life: the history of viticulture and several named hiking routes. The wine cellar, built in 1901 by the Bruchhausen winegrowers’ cooperative, represents local red wine production and its later cultural use by local associations. The trails highlight different destinations: Rheinbreitbach, Erpel or St. John the Baptist Church. The wider travel destination of Neuwied also offers other themes for planning your trip – from museums and markets to hiking and cycling routes.
The Wine Cellar as Part of the Town’s History
The red wine “Bruchhausener Blümchen” was produced in the wine cellar for 30 years. Since 1989, local associations have used the building for cultural activities. Its history therefore encompasses both cooperative winemaking and cultural use by associations. The combination of a named wine, a clearly defined period and the later use by local associations brings this story to life without reducing it to just one aspect.
Distinguishing Hikes by Destination and Route
One hike leads from Bruchhausen to Rheinbreitbach; another also runs to Rheinbreitbach, passing through the village of Auge Gottes. A different route leads via Orsberg and the Erpeler Ley to Erpel. The Rotbäckchen circular hiking trail leads to Bruchhausen and along Kirchstraße to St. John the Baptist Church. The places mentioned offer different reference points for planning: two route descriptions lead to Rheinbreitbach, one names Erpel as its destination, and the Rotbäckchen circular hiking trail focuses on Bruchhausen and the church. This lets you start by choosing the places that interest you.
