Beautiful panoramic lounger with a view

"Eppelsheim's main streets converge at the Römer. The bus stop with limestone shelters, as well as a basalt fountain with plants and a bench, invite you to linger. Shops for daily needs are located in the immediate vicinity." The Ur-Rhein-Elefant, created by Gernot Rumpf in 2022, refers to the tusked elephant (Dinotherium). In 1985, he also created the Rossmarkt fountain in Alzey.

The roses in front of the house smelled fantastic 🌹😍

Town Announcer - The statue in the center of the village commemorates the former town announcer, who made public announcements. As a so-called "community servant," he also performed municipal police and law enforcement duties. The sculpture, by Mainz sculptor Reinhold Petermann, was presented to the community by the local history society.

The bronze sculpture depicts an idealized worker from the Gundersheim limestone quarries, which operated until the 1950s. Typical features include a crowbar, a smock belted with a rope, nailed shoes, and a "Batschkapp" (a hat). The sculpture was created by Alzey sculptor Volker Schäfer.

The sculpture was created by the Alzey sculptor Volker Schäfer using prize money won by Gundersheim as part of the "Our Village Should Become More Beautiful" campaign, as well as donations from Gundersheim residents.

"Rosengarten" Limestone Quarries Nature Reserve The former 12-hectare limestone quarry is a protected area and a first-class geological treasure trove, providing insight into its developmental history. Until 1959, the workers here earned their daily bread as "stone crushers." Using powder, the rocks were blasted and then crushed by hand. The limestone was then fired in two circular kilns located at the train station, and the lime was transported by freight cars. The stone material was transported from the quarries to the kiln via railway tracks, along which horse-drawn wagons ran. Since its closure, a unique flora and fauna have taken root here. In particular, a very rare dry grassland with its unique plant diversity. In spring, it's a true delight, as it buzzes and hums everywhere. My recommendation: find the back entrance and work everything out yourself from above; then exit through the exit below and look back. (Caution: Danger of falling, as nothing is secured here!)
