Lion terrace

By the way: the Neroberg has been officially used as a vineyard since 1525 - in other words, for 500 years. Riesling vines thrive particularly well here on the almost four-hectare steep slope - thanks in part to the stony, gneissic soil and loess content. If you would like to find out more about the Neroberg and viticulture, you can take part in this guided tour (opens in a new tab).
