The renaturalized Selz River near Schafhausen is a prime example of successful nature conservation in Rheinhessen. This section of the Selz River south of Alzey-Schafhausen has undergone extensive ecological enhancement in recent years – and you'll notice this immediately when you walk along it.

Really wonderful renaturation. There are lots of places to sit and watch waterfowl.

The Swedish Column is a monument in the Kühkopf-Knoblochsaue nature reserve in Hesse. It commemorates the crossing of the Rhine by the Swedish King Gustav Adolf and his troops during the Thirty Years' War at Hahnensand near Erfelden on December 21, 1631. The twelve-meter-high column was erected in 1632 on the orders of Gustav Adolf by the fortress builder Matthäus Staud. Ludwig Bechstein describes it in his German Book of Legends, published in 1853, as "a tall column resting on four balls that support the pedestal, in the shape of an obelisk. On top it bore the seated Swedish heraldic lion with a helmeted and crowned head, holding a sword and orb in its front paws." This is how the column still appears today. The lion is looking in the direction in which the crossing took place, the battlefield and the Swedish cemetery. However, the Swedish Column is no longer in its original location. It was built in the 18th century due to the threat of erosion

The Swedish Column is a monument in the Kühkopf-Knoblochsaue nature reserve in Hesse. It commemorates the crossing of the Rhine by the Swedish King Gustav Adolf and his troops during the Thirty Years' War at Hahnensand near Erfelden on December 21, 1631. The twelve-meter-high column was erected in 1632 on the orders of Gustav Adolf by the fortress builder Matthäus Staud. Ludwig Bechstein describes it in his German Book of Legends, published in 1853, as "a tall column resting on four balls that support the pedestal, in the shape of an obelisk. On top it bore the seated Swedish heraldic lion with a helmeted and crowned head, holding a sword and orb in its front paws." This is how the column still appears today. The lion is looking in the direction in which the crossing took place, the battlefield and the Swedish cemetery. However, the Swedish Column is no longer in its original location. It was moved inland in the 18th century because of the threat of erosion. Bechstein also reports that the Swedish king and four companions sailed down the Rhine in a small boat and spotted Spanish units entrenched near Oppenheim on the left bank of the Rhine. In any case, the Spaniards had taken up positions on the Kühkopf peninsula, which was then on the left bank of the Rhine, to protect Oppenheim as a military outpost. In order to cross the river with his troops from the right bank of the Rhine, Gustav Adolf had the barn doors of the local farmers pried open and mounted on the few boats available. In this way, his troops, several thousand infantry men, as well as cavalry and artillery of unknown strength, crossed to the other bank. The crossing of the Rhine, which was then around 300 m wide, took place in two places. The Swedes managed to take Oppenheim by storm. This crossing of the Rhine is considered one of the outstanding military achievements of the Thirty Years' War. One immediate consequence was that Mainz fell into the hands of the Swedes. For this reason, another monument was erected. After the Second World War, when people were considering what motif the new windows of the Protestant church in Stockstadt am Rhein should have (the old windows were destroyed in a bombing raid), one of the motifs chosen was Gustav II Adolf, because he was welcomed in Stockstadt as a liberator and savior.

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
