    Hiking

    Unfortunately, I have to correct something here: The Alexander Tower is not a water tower, but a city tower of the old city wall in Mainz from the 15th century. This tower was built on the foundations of a previous tower from Roman times (4th century). Because this is where the Roman city wall ran after the legion in Mainz was reduced/removed and the city wall was reduced and strengthened at the same time.
