The Mainz sand is a special ecological jewel: it has a flora unique in Europe, a relic of the post-glacial steppe landscapes. In all of Central Europe it is the only area in which it has been preserved in this form and species composition.

Mountain biking

Park opposite the Mombach swimming pool - and you're right on the sand.
Ideal for walking, jogging, cycling with a connection to the Gonsenheimer forest.
