This is where the Bingen mice attacked the evil Bishop Hatto. 1200 years later, a wonderfully romantic view of a small, wild island in the Rhine.

Today, when the water was extremely low, there was even a way to get to the tower on foot.

A legend is entwined around the name of the old watchtower. Accordingly, archbishop Hatto II of Mainz refused to share his grain reserves with his starving subjects during a famine in the 10th century. Instead, he had some of the begging people locked up in a barn, which was then lit. The cries for help he commented only maliciously with the statement 'Do you hear how the little mice scream?'. At night, however, his property was hit by a massive mouse plague. With a few followers he fled with a boat to the mouse tower. He thought he was safe in the lonely watchtower, but when he closed the door, countless mice crawled out of the wall and ate him alive. Since then, the tower is called only mouse tower.
