Why is it actually called "Palmenweg" (Palm path) without a single palm tree? Not that I would support the spread of the invasive species Trachycarpus fortunei, which is already all too well established in Mainz, e.g. at the Favorite, but it just surprises me....

The "Höllenberg" is one of the old dune hills that rise here on the Rhine near Heidesheim and are used for wine and fruit growing. The "Heidesheimer Dünensande" hiking trail runs along here, as does a bike path from Finthen to Heidesheim. The panoramic view of the Rheingau region from here invites you to linger, especially at sunset.

This is a paved path that runs along the edge of the Ober Olmer forest. It is relatively easy to navigate with a minimal incline towards the south. From here, several side paths/trails lead into the forest.
