Hiking

...many people know that the 50th degree north latitude runs through Mainz (visible at the theater forecourt). However, far fewer citizens probably know that the latitude also runs through Kostheim (below the church of St. Kilian). The Kostheim local advisory board wanted to change this and decided to set up a stele that also makes this fact visible.

On the way to the first bridge you pass the wine town of Kostheim, where there are delicious wine taverns!
