    Relatively narrow path on a low dam next to the Altrhein. Leads from the Schwedensäule to the Mistweg car park. plague of mosquitoes at the appropriate time of year and day.

      The poet Elisabeth Langgässer (born February 23, 1899 + July 25, 1950), who was born in Alzey, spent several years as a teacher in Griesheim near Darmstadt. On her many hikes and bike rides through the floodplain landscape of the Ried and along the Old Rhine, the nature poet got a lot of inspiration for her poetic work. Especially in her best-known book "Gang durch das Ried" (1936) there are many allusions and references to today's Riedstadt district - the Erfeld Altrhein, the Plattenhof in the Knoblochsaue or the Bensheimerhof near Leeheim.

      To mark the author's 100th birthday in 1999, the municipality of Riedstadt, in cooperation with the Elisabeth Langgässer Society in Darmstadt, laid out a hiking trail about twelve kilometers long in the Knoblochsaue nature reserve. This path, which is marked with signs, is now used by many walkers and lovers of literature at any time of the year. Some biographical data and quotes from the writer, who was persecuted during the National Socialist period due to her Jewish origins, can be found on the information boards along the hiking trail. Elisabeth Langgässer received the Büchner Prize posthumously in 1950, the year she died.
