    A truly amazing highlight with the foundations of a medieval crypt and, above all, a fantastic view of Donnerberg and the Taunus mountains.

      Highest elevation in the Rhine-Hessian hill country; and that just with 245 m above sea level. Interesting is next to the view the ruins of the "mountain chapel" St. Peter (built around the year 1000 in Romanesque style). The church was abandoned during the Reformation and destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. As is so often the case, the citizens used the ruined building as a quarry in subsequent years. For nature lovers: Up here, I have often been able to observe the very rare butterfly species "swallowtail" in the summer months.

        A hike up Petersberg is definitely worth it!

        From here, you have a fantastic view of all of Rheinhessen, including the Donnersberg, the Feldberg in the Taunus Mountains, and the Odenwald.

        There was once a church on Petersberg, the remains of which are still preserved. Information panels provide information about its historical background.

        The area is also very interesting from a geological perspective.

        There are also information panels on this topic.
