アルスハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

The pollards look great. Reminds me of the Shire with the Hobbits😅🤩

Beautiful view from the Toad Fountain over the vines to Oppenheim.

Here you can find information about Landskron Castle: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Landskron_(Oppenheim)

story Before Landskron Castle was built, there was probably a Salic or Hohenstaufen fortification on the same site, which was owned by King Henry V and destroyed in 1118 by troops of Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz. The castle itself was probably built in the early 13th century. The oldest surviving written mention of the "Reichsburg Oppenheim" comes from 1244. This castle was destroyed in 1257 and 1275 by the citizens of Oppenheim in a dispute with the Burgmannen over their privileges. However, Rudolf von Habsburg forced the citizens to rebuild the castle by 1281. In 1375 Emperor Charles IV pledged the castle to Ruprecht von der Pfalz. Accordingly, Ruprecht had the castle expanded. He was succeeded by his grandson Ruprecht III. as the owner of the castle, who also died there. In 1615, Elector Frederick V had the castle rebuilt like a palace. The castle burned down in the Thirty Years' War during the town fire in Oppenheim

If there are no ornithologists around, this observation spot is also ideal for a rest

Old Willows. The trunks have grown and proliferated in very different ways.

Relatively new bench with a view of the adjacent meadow.

Good observation opportunities in the breeding and migration season, at all water levels. This tributary of the Altrhein has a direct upstream and downstream connection to the Erfeld Altrhein. As a result of a natural sill formation in the system, the outflow is delayed, so that even with low water levels, water still remains in front of the observation point.
