walks in my region: Johannisberg

before christmas, we made a walk through the vineyards to Schloss Johannisberg, part of Geisenheim/Rhine. the abbey was founded in 1106, the church desztroyed in WWII, reminded me of the situation in Ukraine... Johannisberg castle had famous owners: Nassau-Oranien and Metternich (until 2006) were the most prominent ones. The Riesling from Johannisberg is a famous and delicious wine.
