On the hike on the Hildegard von Bingen pilgrimage trail, the polymath and probably the most famous personality of the Middle Ages is commemorated. The path leads around 135 kilometers (85 miles) through the land of Hildegard.

The path runs along historical places where Saint Hildegard lived:

• Niederhosenbach as her probable place of birth and family seat;
• Disibodenberg , where she entered the monastery and lived for almost 40 years (1112-1150);
• Sponheim , where Hildegard was given to her teacher Jutta von Sponheim at the age of eight (1106) and
• Bingen am Rhein , where she founded her own convent (c. 1150).
• The last stations on the pilgrimage trail are the pilgrimage church of St. Hildegard in Rüdesheim-Eibingen with the Hildegard shrine and the Benedictine Abbey of St. Hildegard in Rüdesheim-Eibingen .
