This Highlight is in a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald
Location: Schaafheim, Landkreis Darmstadt-Dieburg, Darmstadt District, Hesse, Germany
We look from left to right at the communities of Schaafheim, Ringheim and Großostheim. On the horizon we see the chimneys of the Stockstadt paper factory on the Main, and to the right of them is this
Coal-fired power plant "Bayernwerk" and further to the right another paper factory. In the middle of the forest, which lies in front of the horizon line, there is a large waste recycling plant.
The 20th century shaped a previously rural landscape that was created on Main sand and loess soil. Because the Main wasn't originally in a narrow bed, but dominated it
entire pool.
This highlight is part of the barrier-free Kultura Trail "Cultural Landscape in Transition" run by NaturFreunde Hessen: komoot.de/tour/1368108866
