Mölsheimer Zellerweg am Schwarzen Herrgott (Zellerweg at the Black Lord's Cross of Mölsheim)

A weathered cross and two intersecting vineyards

This is one of the oldest vineyards in Germany: it was mentioned in a document as early as 1307 with the name "an Seller Weg". The name goes back to a wayside cross on the road to Zell (Donnersbergkreis/Kirchheimbolanden). Saint Philip of Zell is said to have placed a weathered cross here in the 8th century. A special feature of the site: the border between southernmost Rheinhessen and northern Pfalz runs right through the middle of the vineyards. Excellent mineral Rieslings and Pinot Noirs grow on heavy limestone and marl soils. The "Weinrast" a wine booth, is located in the middle of the site and offers a magnificent view over the valley. The site also contains two vineyard houses - a round tower from 1884 and a neo-Baroque mansard roof building from the 1920s.

Hiker near Monsheim

Zellertalweg (round trip Monsheim - Mölsheim - Wachenheim)

This 9.5-kilometer round starts and ends in Monsheim.

Monsheim is the eastern gateway to Zellertal. In the west-east course meanders the "Pfrimm", which flows from the Donnersberg the Zellertal and flows at Worms into the Rhine, by the local situation. Worth seeing are the town hall from 1832, the residential tower in the district war home from the 14th century and the Monsheimer castle. The latter was still in 1394 a moated castle ("Veste Monsheim").

On Weinbergswegen you reach the place Mölsheim and a dream place for a break on the way - the Weinrast with vision, where on Sundays and public holidays regional wines and delicacies are offered.

The tour can of course also be started from any other point and can be combined with the west adjacent Zellertal round Wachenheim-Mölsheim-Zell-Niefernheim-Wachenheim.
