A picturesque little town in the Rhineland-Palatinate region, Meisenheim has become known for its beautifully preserved historic centre. Nestled in the valley of the River Glan and surrounded by fields and forests, the town is also a lovely springboard for outdoorsy excursions with friends and family. The variety of accommodation options is on the rise, but our pick of the best places to stay in Meisenheim is a charming boutique bolthole in the Old Town, perfectly placed for exploring.
Built in the 14th Century, Meisenheim’s Old Town has long been encircled by defensive walls. Wander narrow streets lined with half-timbered houses, admiring the Upper Gate, Powder Tower and Gothic Palace Church — amongst myriad other heritage landmarks — as you go. Striking religious buildings abound, including the Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and the former synagogue. The Duke of Wolfgang Wing of what was once Meisenheim Castle remains, as does the lovely Lower Gate Bridge — ideal for a stroll in the sunshine.
The surrounding countryside is criss-crossed with hiking and cycling trails, as well as pretty spots for fishing, kayaking and swimming. Fans of the Nahe region’s Riesling can expect tours and tastings aplenty at the area’s many wineries.
