The best running trails around Ilbesheim bei Landau in der Pfalz

There is NO bench here, only a corner bench without a backrest. The bench with a backrest follows a few hundred meters further.

This viewpoint on the Setzerberg (name explanation on information board) was redesigned as part of the "360-Grad-Weg Göcklingen" hiking trail (here: station 8): with an information board, a lounger and rest bench, as well as a steel sculpture (= coat of arms of Göcklingen; old court seal from the 18th century). The newly planted trees do not yet provide any shade. Here you are rewarded with a magnificent panorama: a view of Göcklingen, towards Landeck Castle ruins and over the sea of vines along the Haardt!

Single bench under an old walnut tree with its back to the beautiful Hasrdt and unobstructed view over the sea of vines and the Rhine plain to the Odenwald. In sight (to the south) and approx. 100 m to the north, there is each a freestanding seating group with a table (but WITHOUT shade).

Pretty half-timbered village on the edge of Landau - nice quiet streets worth a slow ride-through.

Fantastic view over the vineyards, the surrounding wine villages and behind them the hills of the Palatinate Forest.

Memorial stone to a village that disappeared as early as 1500, of which, however, no remnants are visible.

The Catholic parish church of St. Mary stands in Landau's city center, directly on Marienring. With its imposing size, it is the most magnificent church in the entire Southern Palatinate and is built in the Neo-Romanesque cathedral style. The three-aisled basilica, in late Romanesque and early Gothic forms, impresses with its massive twin-tower facade, its exterior with open buttresses, and its interior with its three-zone wall elevation. On June 12, 1908, the foundation stone for St. Mary's Church was laid according to plans by Josef Cades of Stuttgart. By 1910, the church was structurally complete, with the exception of the two towers. On June 12, 1911, the church was solemnly consecrated by the Bishop of Speyer, Michael von Faulhaber, the future Archbishop of Munich and Freising. ...The Catholic parish church of St. Mary stands in Landau's city center, Landau's city center, and the church stands in Marienring One hundred years later, Cardinal Friedrich Wetter, also initially Bishop of Speyer and later Archbishop of Munich and Freising, celebrated the anniversary Mass in his home parish. The construction of the church was estimated to cost around 1 million gold marks at the time (equivalent to approximately 42 million euros today). It is 73 meters long, 40 meters wide, and the nave is 20 meters high. The imposing west towers each reach a height of 60 meters. The church's footprint covers 2,236 square meters, and its volume is 44,673 cubic meters. Approximately 60 single-family homes could fit inside St. Mary's Church. Speyer Cathedral is five times larger. The most recent interior renovation, completed in March 2014, cost 1.3 million euros. The organ (3 manuals / 70 stops), built by G. F. Steinmeyer & Co. and commissioned in 1924, is one of the most important late-Romantic instruments in southern Germany. The parish invested €600,000 in its restoration (2010-2012), with significant support from our Friends of the Church association. Selected works of art from various centuries adorn the church interior. Of particular note are a wooden relief of a late Gothic "Lamentation of Christ," created around 1510, and the "Holy Kinship," which dates from approximately the same period. The ambo, altar, and cross were created in 1974/75 by the Speyer artist Georg Günther Zeuner (1923-2011). In 2024, a light cross by the renowned artist Ludger Hinse (born 1948) was installed in the chancel. Source: https://www.kirchelandau.de/pfarrei-gemeinden/kirchen/kirche-st-maria/
