It was 12 euros round trip, and we enjoyed both the views of the vineyards on the ride up as well as walking around the Niederwald forest and temple after getting dropped off at the top. We went on a busy and gorgeous Saturday afternoon so there were lines to get in at both the bottom and the top, but they moved quickly and the staff were very efficient.

We donned our helmets and were soon walking with the rest of the group underground in this 18th century mine. The tour was informative, and, although the tour was in German, we could follow along with the written guide. Our tour guide spoke enough English that he could answer the questions that we had. We found this to be a very interesting, informative find. And, the restaurant nearby was decent too.
