뫼르슈타트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

An absolute must-see! It's a Rhine island, separated from the main channel by an old Rhine branch, and has held FFH/NATURA 2000 protected status since 2008. On the one hand, it's captivating with its floodplain character, featuring the overflow areas of the old Rhine branch, reed beds, and softwood floodplain forest of Canadian poplars, willows, and ash trees – I even found a genuine symphonic cypress. On the other hand, it boasts a meadow landscape with plant species typical of floodplain meadows, which are threatened with extinction and have therefore been replanted as part of a conservation project. Of course, you can't expect a profusion of blossoms in February. Nevertheless, I was thrilled.

The fountain was created in 1913 by the Munich sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand and erected in 1921. It is made of shell limestone and is designed as a heptagonal dome. On top of the fountain stands Siegfried with his sword, which represents the scene of the dragon slayer from the legend.

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.

The Siegfried Fountain is a listed fountain in the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Worms. It is reminiscent of Siegfried the dragon slayer, one of the main characters in the Nibelungen saga.

The southern tip of the Maulbeeraue is the railway line that connects Worms with Hofheim. Now we walk with the Rhine on our left and enjoy the picturesque meadow landscape. There is also a historic fountain on the Mulberry meadow and the last mulberry trees can be seen around it. Historically, finds indicate that there was a Celtic Rhine crossing here as early as 500 BC, connecting Nordheim with Herrnsheim. It is said to have been a place for gatherings or camps for counts and their entourage during the Carolingian period. The "Mulberauwe" was first mentioned in a document in 1427. The fact that the former mulberry forest no longer stands is probably due to the French. Revolutionary troops felled firewood here around 1795. Mulberries look like oblong blackberries and are edible. The trees have good growing conditions, where wine grows, for example, it is rather sheltered and warm, the soil is loose, nutritious and rich in lime.

The Maulbeeraue extends between the Maulbeerauer Altrhein and the Rhine. It forms a small Rhine island in the Hessian district of Bergstrasse. To be more precise: between Rhine kilometers 443.8 and 449.1. The northern third is part of the municipality of Biblis (district of Nordheim), the two-thirds to the south belong to the city of Lampertheim (district of Hofheim). Opposite is the Nibelungen city of Worms. The mulberry meadow is under nature protection and is a Natura 2000 area. Information boards tell us more about this gem on the Hessian Upper Rhine. For us, the start of the round is clockwise in Nordheim at the sports field on the L3261. Through fields we reach the Maulbeerauer Altrhein. The Maulbeeraue is a wonderful local recreation destination and enchants with its meadow landscape. Because the meadows are mowed twice a year and not fertilized, a pleasing variety of plants with colorful flowers has established itself here. The Natura area measures around 420ha.
