オッタースハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

In summer it's a wonderful place to cool down a bit in the heat. The "zigzag path" up the hill south of the stream is beautifully decorated with small animal figures.

Really a beautiful spot on the bike path in the romantic Eisbachtal.

I liked the view of Asselheim from the Ritterstein

Fountain with inscription: 2015 - 30 years of the Flörsheim-Dalsheim local association

Very nice but steep climb to the fountain. Gorgeous view from here. Slightly below there is a hut that occasionally hosts.

This is one of over 300 memorial stones erected by the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV). Its arrow points to a roughly 30 square meter cave dwelling "on the northern slope of the Höllenberg" and "in the Hohfels rock formation within the Tertiary limestone reef": https://www.komoot.de/highlight/1137121 Excavations have revealed evidence of human presence from around 40,000 BC (Lower Paleolithic) to around 5,000 BC (Upper Paleolithic)" and human burials in the Early and High Middle Ages. "The cave is now inaccessible due to the risk of collapse. The path leading to it is also overgrown with hedges, making passage impossible."

The fountain is nice, the view from there is better, the avenue of the still young almond trees and the vineyard cottage below the fountain, which is often cultivated by the Schmitt winery.

Behind the Südzucker factory Offstein, beautiful footpaths and bike paths with lots of benches to take a break 🚴🏼‍♀️👍
