Myriameter Stone — Monheim am Rhein
Highlight • Monument
This marker marks a specific distance in myriameters, a unit of length that is now rather uncommon, corresponding to 10 kilometers (10,000 meters).
Such markers were formerly erected along the Rhine to mark distances along the river, especially for shipping.
In the 19th century, the Rhine was re-measured as part of the Prussian Rhine Regulation Act, and so-called Myriameter Stones were erected to provide precise distance information.
These markers were intended to provide precise distance information to Rhine boatmen and other road users. This was a systematic marker placed along the entire course of the river.
The Myriameter Stone near Mohnheim am Rhein is one of these historic markers and indicates the distance along the Rhine.
These stones were not only practical for navigation, but also a symbol of the advanced surveying and infrastructure development along the river in the 19th century.
A typical myriameter stone is a large, solid stone block or pillar engraved with the distance in kilometers, and often also in myriameters.
Such stones are rare today and are usually considered a memorial commemorating the earlier days of river surveying and transport on the Rhine.
The stone near Mohnheim am Rhein bears such an inscription, marking the exact distance in kilometers along the Rhine.
These stones no longer have any practical use for navigation, but they are important testimonies to the historical infrastructure along the Rhine.

The path on the dam is gravel.
The path under the dam is very well paved and easy to ride on a racing bike.
