Bermersheimer Seilgarten

An ancient craft and many varieties of grapes 

A high ropes course? No, this leisure activity - climbing in treetops - is probably more recent. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful name for a vineyard. The vintners do not have to climb here, it is not a steep slope - but it offers a beautiful view over the Rhine plain. A variety of grape varieties grow on loess soil; Silvaner, Chardonnay or Portugieser. The site was mentioned in a document in 1773 with the name "auf dem saylgarten". Either there is a shape designation (but what does a rope garden look like?) or it is a reference to the workshop of a roper. In former times a roper carried out the craft of rope making, he knotted ship ropes or load ropes.
