The approximately 10-hectare renaturalized Mühlbach floodplain is located between Ober-Saulheim and Nieder-Saulheim and also serves as a public park. Really beautifully done!

The Mühlbachaue in Saulheim is an ideal place to switch off and recharge your batteries.

Very beautifully renatured Bach Aue. A little paradise.

Zornheim is the perfect detour if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Mainz. Right at the beginning of the Hiwweltour Zornheimer Berg, the Ruhkreuz awaits with a real surprise. The Frankfurt skyline is very visible on a clear day and shows how close Rheinhessen is to the Rhein-Main area. If you prefer not to see any skyscrapers, just turn around and look at the renatured Selz and the endless Reebenmeer. It is not for nothing that the Ruhkreuz near Zornheim was voted the "Most Beautiful Wine View 2020" this year. Definitely plan a trip to the place. The Lindenplatz with the Three Graces fountain and the church is one of the most beautiful squares in Rheinhessen.

From the Ruhkreuz you can gaze far into the distance. You can see the Feldberg in the Taunus, the Frankfurt skyline, the Odenwald, the Donnersberg and the Hunsrück. The Rheinhessen flag also flies at this central vantage point.

Some parishioners financed the project and the evangelical sculptor Stieb from Nieder-Olm made it. At the Ruhkreuz station was inserted in petition processions. A wayside cross must have stood on the site of the cross erected in 1918. The field name "Am Kreuz" for the vineyards to the south of the site is documented as early as the 18th century The vineyard location "An der Ruh" was decisive for the naming of the cross. This widespread field name describes a place on a path where loads could be set down on a stone for a short rest. Two stone blocks support a stone crossbeam, which is approximately at the level of the load carried on the back. Women from Hahnheim probably put their baskets here for a short rest when they went to the market in Mainz via Zornheim with their goods. There were such benches in many Rhenish-Hessian communities, often with a seat. Supposedly Napoleon donated these benches out of joy at the birth of his son; consequently one also speaks of "Napoleon's benches". The Ruhkreuz in Zornheim is an ideal starting point for hikes or to take a break and let your gaze wander. Source: zornheim.de/freizeit-kultur/sightseeing/ruhkreuz
