Next to the Bell Church lies the Beach Path of the Senses. It is a 1.6 km circular path between the Bell Church and the gravel pit. Numerous panels provide information about the geological development of the former coastal region, when the Mainz Basin was flooded by a subtropical sea 30 million years ago.
