먼 곳까지의 멋진 전망

Firstly, from there, you have a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding Rhenish-Hessian villages. At 245 m, the Petersberg is one of the defining hills of the Mainz Basin, as Rhenish-Hessian is known geologically. Unlike the other table mountains of the Rhenish-Hessian hills with their limestone caps, the Petersberg lacks these. In rainy seasons, this leads to landslides on the slopes due to water penetrating between the marl and sand layers – as in other places in the Mainz Basin. At the top of the Petersberg, you can still see the remains of the 10th-century surrounding wall of St. Peter's Church. The legend of the Three Sisters surrounds this church, as well as the pilgrimage chapel on the Nazarienberg in Mommenheim and the mountain church in Udenheim.

The narrow grass path was quite overgrown and was therefore not at all pleasant to walk on

The Herrgottspfad to Petersberg is part of the Way of St. James. Markings can be found before the ascent, opposite the former viewing bench

on the edge is a seat to relax

From here, the climb to the Petersberg is worthwhile - the "mountain rating" to the summit at 245 meters is about 2 kilometers. At the top are the ruins of St. Peter's Church from the 10th century, once an important three-aisled basilica. In addition, of course, there are fantastic views over Rheinhessen and a rest at the "tables of wine". Here at the southern foot of the Petersberg you can also admire the largest collection of wild tulips north of the Alps.

Stay on the main paths, even if it's a few kilometers longer. The single trails and sub-paths are largely overgrown and impassable.
