Zur Viehweide Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

The "Viehweide" is not only an inn with regional cuisine and a large sun terrace. You also have a wonderful view of the Rhine-Main plain, a playground for children and a fenced playground for dogs where the four-legged friends can romp to their heart's content 😀 You can park along the access road.

Pine Forest at Kapellenberg

Highlight • Forest

This forest, dubbed the northernmost pine forest in Europe (though I'm not an expert, I'd guess it's *Pinus pinea*), was probably a mistake. In the 19th century, the Kapellenberg hill was reforested, and these pines were planted on its barren, rocky southern slope. The city's 1878 accounts mention 11,500 young *Pinus* saplings – without specifying them further. Did *Pinus pinea* sound much more like a pine tree to the buyer than *Pinus sylvestris*? In any case, the Mediterranean plants seem to thrive here, attracting many a surprised glance from passersby.

View from the Gundelpfad

Highlight • Viewpoint

The route is one of my favorites for several reasons. a) Great view, b) quiet c) practically always in the sun during the day (if the clouds play along).

Rettershof Estate

Highlight • Historical Site

The Rettershof has a long history. There was a monastery here as early as the 12th century. Today the farm is a popular tourist destination with a guest house, hotel and still running a farm. The location is fantastic between forest and meadows.
