Friesenheimer Bergpfad

With momentum "nuff and runner" again

Rheinhessen and its mountains: Granted, they are small mountains. But if you ride from Weinolsheim to Friesenheim and then back up to Köngernheim, your ears may well fall. Cyclists definitely feel the wind. The people of Rheinhessen would say: "You ride ruff (up) and runner (down) again". In this respect: Mountain accepted as a term in the lagenname. The camp name is based on a mountain path located in the immediate vicinity. Friesenheim lies in the valley, the small river Selz leads through the middle. On clay marl grow from Riesling over Burgundy to Aromarebsorten, white and red wine vines.
