    During his reign, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte traveled several times from Paris to Mainz. On one of his business trips he crossed the Wiesbach near Welgesheim. The trail is marked by a snuff box, which played a major role in Napoleon's appearance in Welgesheim. The signs along the way reveal which ones. On the family-friendly circular route there are places to rest at the wine table on the Place de Josefine, at a Wingerts swing and two sun loungers.

        At least we can confirm the part "got stuck in the mud". After the rain of the last few days, we got to know the heavy soil of the Hiwwel today. ... so the story could be true 😉👍
