The Weinheim Bay circular route runs along the former coast. Due to the wealth of fossils, three natural monuments of worldwide importance are on the hiking trail.
One of them is the “Zeilstück” sand pit. This is best known for its high oyster deposits. A viewing platform offers a glimpse into the protected geotope.
