To laugh, pause, and stay for a while. To feast, sip, and enjoy. Art, music, literature, and performance – surprises are part of the programme over the three days.

Neroberg hill has been known by that name since the 19th century; it towers 130 metres, or 426.5 feet, above Wiesbaden‘s city centre.

Enjoying wine above the rooftops of the city

Arrive. Enjoy. Stay. A wonderful view and wine to enjoy above Wiesbaden – on Neroberg hill, Château Nero is waiting for you on a hidden plateau above the vineyard, offering a diverse range of wines from the Kloster Eberbach state wineries.

Why not make your Wiesbaden experience perfect by taking a ride on the Neroberg mountain railway? However, a nice walk on foot is also worth its while. Or you can come by bike. At the Löwenterrasse, or terrace of the lions, simply keep to the right and walk along the wall.

A chapel becomes a cultural site

The Hospital of the Merciful Brothers of Montabaur was built in the heart of the old town in 1864. It served as a hospital until 1966 when the premises were converted into apartments.

The chapel was preserved, was taken over by the Brentanos Erben association, and transformed into a "free space" for culture – the "Monta cultural site". A varied programme of dance, theatre, and literature is on offer.
