The Beller church is a late Gothic church ruin located 300 m south of Eckelsheim "in an open field". It is the village's landmark. There is little concrete information about its history, but many assumptions and legends. A recently rediscovered document from 1490 speaks of the "construction of a chapel and an altar in honor of Our Lady, called in den Bellen". Mass is to be said on Wednesdays and on all Marian feast days "for all eternity". Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

i bought some stuff to go on my first little trekking tour to a trekking camp in the eifel to spend the night alone in a piece of forest for the first time. an exciting and great experience that inspired me to plan more such trips in the future.

Falkenstein Castle is the ruins of a hilltop castle (Reichsburg) dating back to the Middle Ages above the village of Falkenstein on the Donnersberg in Rhineland-Palatinate, the highest elevation in the Palatinate.

Bingen am Rhein is a large town in the district of Mainz-Bingen in Rhineland-Palatinate. The original name of the settlement was Bingium, a Celtic word possibly meaning "hole in the rock", the name for the shallow area behind the Mäuseturm, known as the Binger Loch. Bingen was the starting point of the Ausoniusstraße, a Roman military road that connected the city with Trier. Bingen is also famous for the story of the Bingen Mouse Tower, in which Archbishop Hatto of Mainz was allegedly eaten by mice. In 2008, Bingen hosted the third Rhineland-Palatinate State Garden Show after Kaiserslautern and Trier. Residents of Bingen are called "Binger", but the word "Bingener" is frowned upon.

The Wartberg Tower near the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Alzey in Germany is a 28.15-metre-high observation tower. It was first mentioned in a document in 1420 and was used as an observation post for military purposes. The Wartberg Tower was probably built in the first half of the 12th century and was part of a medieval "early warning system". The tower was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War in 1620 and rebuilt in 1668. Renovation work took place in 1858 and 1890; during the latter, the tower was redesigned. In a photo from 1929, the tower was romantically transfigured with battlements. Towards the end of the Second World War, on January 8, 1945, the Wartberg Tower was - according to legend - the town's savior. American bomber pilots mistakenly thought that the spire rising out of the fog was the steeple of St. Nicholas Church and dropped their bomb load. The only certainty is that the tower was destroyed and the city was largely spared from bombing raids.

Heimersheim was incorporated into the town of Alzey in 1972. Heimersheim lies on a hollow in the hillside, next to a stream and the historic Mauritius church (1479) on a hill. The village with its clearly visible medieval village character is surrounded by vine-covered slopes, the "Sonnenberg". Over 30 Franconian farmsteads still exist in Heimersheim today.
