We’ll mention the surprise first. You have not read wrong. There really is a coastal hiking trail in Rheinhessen. After all, the Mainz Basin was once flooded by a subtropical sea. That may have been 30 million years ago, but numerous rock and fossil finds still bear witness to a species-rich underwater world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature’s ways may not be unfathomable, but they are no less fascinating. Sharks, rays and manatees used to frolic where wine grows today. The coastal path near Alzey-Weinheim<\/a> invites you to hike through the vineyards – with an exciting journey back in time to the prehistoric past. On top: wonderful views over the Rhine-Hessian hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Weinheim bay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get going: The starting point of the hike is on the main street of Weinheim<\/strong>. The village, which was once independent, is now the largest district of Alzey<\/strong>. And if you set off from here, you need not worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
