Idyllic place - usually in absolute peace

To the east of the Great Holy Sea is the Small Holy Sea, which is privately owned but also protected. To the southwest are the sinkhole lake and the Heideweiher pond. The sinkhole lake was formed on April 14, 1913, during the last major sinkhole in the protected area.

Great nature, calming area.

Beautiful lake. Unfortunately, the lake is fenced off.

At its end, Schwedenstraße meets the former eastern cross street, the street “An den Schanzen”. The current name is reminiscent of an earth bastion that was located here until 1734, the Rinken or Kemnaschanze (Kemnade), named after the residents of the house directly on the ski jump. The large earth wall with a wide city moat secured the southeast side of the city. Even during the 30 Years' War, the entrenchment was a strong defensive bulwark.

The castle was built in the 14th century by Electoral Mainz to protect the neighboring Steinbach monastery and the surrounding estates against the Electoral Palatinate. The process can be seen as a dispute between the archdiocese and the Palatinate as a result of the transfer of the Lorsch monastery to Electorate of Mainz in 1232. The construction on fiefdom of the Erbach taverns, which were fiefdoms of the Count Palatine, led to complications that were initially resolved by granting a castle fiefdom and later by pledging it to Erbach. The earliest mention of the castle comes from the year 1310. In 1317 Schenk Eberhard VI. von Erbach called Mainzer Burgmann. After the castle was initially given to Erbach as a Mainz fiefdom, the taverns acquired Fürstenau in 1355 and finally in 1454. Until then, a Mainz bailiff had still resided in the castle.

The Fürstenauer Tor is decorated for Christmas.
