My favorite pond in the Palatinate. The ideal place to relax and cool off on every gravel tour. Very clean water, lots of ducks and also swans.

The town wall in Flörsheim-Dalsheim is a true gem of medieval architecture in Rheinhessen. Built at the end of the 15th century as a unified town fortification, it is now the only almost completely preserved medieval wall in the region. Particularly fascinating: The wall encircles the historic town center ("Flecken") and is approximately 1.2 kilometers long. Originally equipped with gates and a moat, it was partially redesigned in the 19th century. Lovingly restored between 1986 and 1990, it is now a popular destination for walks and guided tours. A real must-see for history buffs, cyclists, and anyone who wants to experience Rheinhessen at its most charming.
