A pretty little tower with 72 steps, but no nice view.

The Aulheim Valley lies within the Flonheim district in Rheinhessen. Geologically, Rheinhessen largely corresponds to the Mainz Basin, the northeastern edge of the Upper Rhine Graben. When the Upper Rhine Graben collapsed millions of years ago during the folding of the Alps, a connection was created via the Rhone Valley to a subtropical sea in the south and via the Hessian Depression to what is now the North Sea. This led to two flooding phases in the Oligocene and Miocene. The Vorholz Peninsula was only briefly flooded. The floor of the Mainz Basin consists of rock formations from the Rotliegend or Permian periods (296–251 million years ago). There was volcanic activity here from fissure volcanoes that covered the surface with layers of lava. In the Aulheim Valley, the lava was fast-flowing, low-silica lava, which cooled quickly and solidified into porous sediment with numerous gas inclusions. This made andesite unsuitable as a building material. Water and minerals penetrated the inclusions, and after the water evaporated, agates and geodes slowly formed. On the path through the Aulheim Valley from the Geistermühle to the Aulheimer Mühle, you can still see the retaining walls of the slope on the side facing Flonheim. Boundary stones can still be found here, marking the old district boundary.

The Seckerborn spring (also called "Brünnelschen") is located on the hilltop of Kahlenberg, northwest of Wendelsheim. Particularly beautiful agate almonds were discovered here during vineyard clearing. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the trulli, Riedertal, and the Eckelsheim surf cliff.

The "Elsa Schmitt Tower" observation tower is located on the northern outskirts of the wine-growing community of Wendelsheim in the Rhine-Hesse region. Thanks to a generous donation from the town's namesake, the Verschönerungsverein 1886 e.V. (Beautification Association 1886 e.V.) was able to build the versatile tower with a rest area in 2019.

In memory of and in thanks to Elsa Schmitt and her husband Karl, who generously bequeathed a legacy to the Beautification Association in 1990, which enabled this tower to be built.

Beautiful view over the hills to the Donnersberg.

In the middle of the vineyards. A large pine tree and seating area are also located there.

Unfortunately, it's very expensive. Not for the average consumer.
