Kühkopf is always worth a tour

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

Nature reserve, peace, fresh air.

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

The Kühkopf - the European bird reserve on the Rhine Today's Kühkopf was originally an inland peninsula near Guntersblum, with Rhine islands to the east, north and south. In the course of the straightening of the Rhine (1828/1829), a straightening breakthrough was made to the west of the peninsula and the area was completely separated from the mainland on the left bank of the Rhine, making the peninsula a river island. The Rhine islands that used to be in front of the peninsula now have a connection to the rest of the section due to silting up. The former main course of the Rhine is now an old bend in the Rhine. The almost undeveloped Kühkopf today forms the nature reserve "Kühkopf-Knoblochsaue" together with the Knoblochsaue to the north and some smaller islets in the Old Rhine. The Kühkopf alone accounts for around 1,700 hectares of the 2,440-hectare nature reserve. The island can be reached via two bridges.

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

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.
