The wet meadow of the Dombachaue south of Kisselbach is designated as a biotope. The area is extensively grazed, i.e. Charolais cattle graze here several times a year, but no fertilizer is used.
The trimmed grasses and the stirring up by the hooves ("bite and bite") create habitats for many animal and plant species, especially annual plants. Species that are sensitive to disturbance find a place in the areas that the cattle do not like.

Chapel of Peace Kisselbach

Highlight • Religious Site

At the end of the Second World War, a soldier pinned a small picture of Mary to a beech tree on the edge of the forest in Kisselbach with the caption: "Maria helped me in a wonderful way."

Since then, many believers from Kisselbach and the surrounding area have made pilgrimages to the image of Mary to pray for the fallen, missing and their relatives in the difficult times after the war. On the occasion of the St. Mark's procession in 1946, the image of Mary was blessed by the church. Financed by donations, a forest chapel was built, which was inaugurated on May 27th, 1954.
