Popular around Niederburg
On the crown of the wall, you can only walk along the railway line. Three-quarters of the city wall must be viewed from accompanying paths. The mountain-side wall is a real rarity, making it all the more incomprehensible that it is covered for half a kilometer by a 2 m high hedge. UNESCO should donate a set of hedge trimmers instead of expensive restorers.

In the middle of the market square is a horseshoe embedded in the pavement. According to legend, it belonged to the devil. The winegrowers of Oberwesel had set a trap for him, and he was run over by a full barrel of wine. The winegrowers were released from an onerous contract, and the devil was freed from his horseshoe.
