ヴァッケルンハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

You almost get the impression of being in a dune landscape near the sea. And this isn't surprising, because in prehistoric times, this area was indeed covered by the sea. With a bit of luck, you might even find marine fossils here. 🍀🍀🍀

The Goethe Stone near the Wiesbaden district of Frauenstein is a tetrahedron erected in 1932 to commemorate Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's stay at this location. The Goethe Stone, erected in 1932 in Frauenstein On the southeastern slope of the Spitzen Stein, a 254.5-meter-high hill in the Rheingau Mountains southeast of the Frauenstein castle ruins, sits the Hof Nürnberg, a popular restaurant and winery offering a good view of the Rhine and the Rheingau region with its vineyards. In 1815, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stopped here during his second visit to Wiesbaden to conduct geological studies. In 1932, a monument was erected in his honor next to the Hof Nürnberg, high above the vineyards at an elevation of 230 meters above sea level, overlooking Frauenstein, Walluf, and the Mainz side of the Rhine: the so-called Goethe Stone, a tetrahedron built from rectangular blocks on the base of an equilateral triangle, its soaring apex reminiscent of an obelisk.

The "Mainzer Sand II" nature reserve was established in March 1997. Brief description: Calcareous sand area with open calcareous sand plains, dunes, pioneer sand vegetation, sandy heaths, fallow land, orchards, isolated trees, and old and dead wood; The Mainzer Sand landscape originated approximately 10,000 years ago and is therefore relatively young. Dunes formed from the windblown sand blown from the gravelly riverbed of the Rhine. The establishment of trees and shrubs stabilized these dunes, essentially completing their formation. The resulting landscape is very rare, as it consists of inland dunes.

The vantage point offers a fantastic view over the Rhine plain, the Rheingau region, and the surrounding vineyards. 🍇Erected in 1932 in honor of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the striking tetrahedron commemorates his spa stay in Wiesbaden in 1815. At that time, Goethe wandered through the vineyards and returned to this place again and again – fascinated by the landscape and its geological features.

A truly interesting nature reserve where the geological history is visible.
