The Saubach is the name giver for the Saubach valley. It was extensively renaturalised in 2017 and now offers an ideal retreat for endangered animals and plants thanks to several ponds. At the most beautiful spot in the Saubach Valley, a bench and a resting place invite you to linger.
The wetland lies directly on the Appelbach. The Hiwweltour Tiefenthaler Höhe leads right through this important retreat for plants and animals. Please stay on the marked paths.

The Nahe - Celtic "Nawa" - carved its way into this rock and dug its way deeper and deeper into it. This is…

This palace-like estate was built between 1907 and 1909, according to plans of the Hessisches Hochbauamt Darmstadt. The facade of the main building is dominated by a triangular gable. An open stair leds to an admirably rounded portal guarded by pillars above which a coat of arms with the inscription “Hessisches Amtsgericht” is preserved. At the end of the 20th century these premises were sold by the state…

Outstanding gravestones were combined in 1926 by the rabbis Levi and Salfeld to form a memorial cemetery in order to make the heritage visible from afar and to underline our own location in Magenza…
