After arrival in Ruedesheim take the chairlift with comfortable cabins high above the vineyards and the river valley all the way up to the Niederwald Monument (included) while daylight still permits. Experience the magic of Christmas lights glittering along the riverbanks. The international Christmas Market is a gem in the winter crown of Ruedesheim! At their more than 120 vendors, guests find many of the large and small gifts they have been looking for.
