Opel Neroberg: Swimming and Dining High Above Wiesbaden

Opel Neroberg: Swimming and Dining High Above Wiesbaden

The Opel Neroberg is a hidden paradise perched high above the city of Wiesbaden. Here you can sun worship and swim then also dine in their restaurant.  



Dining

The Opel Neroberg restaurant is called Wagner. You can dine and sip wine while looking at possibly the best view in Wiesbaden. On a clear day, view of the horizon is just breathtaking. With tables on the patio and also inside, the restaurant offers quality food with a beautiful presentation. The meals and drinks are reasonably priced for the location but could be perceived as more expensive than dining in the city.

We went for lunch at the Opel Neroberg and I felt like I was on vacation. A pretty surreal place to go for your lunch break from work. We were pointing to buildings we could recognize and were guessing which hills were in the distance. I could sit there all day with a good bottle of wine, just taking in the view with a friend. The wait staff was very friendly and they treat you like you are longtime friends.





Swimming

Directly below the restaurant and surrounded by hillside is the Opelbad Neroberg public swimming pool. Here you have the same spectacular view of Wiesbaden while you swim or sunbath. 

The pool was created and funded by Dr. Wilhelm von Opel in 1934. With today’s technology it now has solar technology to keep the water at a constant temperature of at least 24 degrees Celsius.

The pool area atmosphere is very calm and it is a great getaway destination which is conveniently right in our own city!
