Celtic Column of Pfalzfeld

Highlight • Monument

"The ancient stone monument of Pfalzfeld is one of the most valuable prehistoric monuments in the Middle Rhine region. It gives a good insight into the artistic style that was cultivated at the courts of the petty princes at that time. According to its representation and shape, the column belongs to the cult area, although its interpretation in detail has not yet been achieved. The monument, made of red sandstone, was found in 1649 by the Hessian historian Winkelmann in the Pfalzfeld cemetery between thorns, thistles and bushes.
It was initially interpreted as a Roman monument. A 1.20 m high square obelisk, which has broken off at the top, still stands on a partially preserved column-shaped treasure. According to old information, it was said to have had a crown in the shape of a human head. The four main surfaces of the stone, which are separated from one another by a rope pattern, are decorated with reliefs in a completely consistent manner. The center of the depiction is a human head, surrounded by swollen, drop-shaped Forms, as well as spiral and palmette-like ornaments. These stylistic features are characteristic of early Celtic art (400 BC).
The original Celtic column is in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn. A copy has been adorning the town center as a landmark since 1993, on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the municipality of Pfalzfeld. Another replica of the so-called "flame column" is located with an information board directly on the Schinderhannes cycle path next to the Gleis 3 adventure restaurant."

Gleis 3 Pfalzfeld

Highlight • Restaurant

On the outskirts of the Hunsrück community of Pfalzfeld, in the immediate vicinity of the long-disused train station (the Hunsrück railway ends in Emmelshausen coming from Boppard), hikers / walkers will find a nice place to stop under the name "Gleis 3".

Baybach Springs

Highlight • River

"The Baybach is a nearly 30 km long right tributary of the Moselle in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The source streams of the Baybach rise at an altitude of about 500 m in the Hunsrück southwest and southeast of the municipality of Hausbay and merge in the center of the town to form the Baybach.
In the upper reaches, the stream flows through a valley and crosses the Hunsrückhöhenstraße near Reifenthal Castle. The further course leads in numerous twists and turns through a gorge-like valley. In the middle reaches near Waldeck Castle, the valley narrows to a ravine.
In Burgen, the Baybach finally flows from the right and finally from the south into the Moselle, which is coming from the southwest, at an altitude of about 75 m.
The approximately 30 km long course of the Baybach ends about 379 meters below its source."

"The Hunsrück Railway is a partially disused branch line that branches off the Linke Rheinstrecke in Boppard and formerly ran to Simmern. There it met the route between Langenlonsheim and Hermeskeil, which is now known as the Hunsrück Querbahn.
However, the 38-kilometer section between Emmelshausen and Simmern was shut down and dismantled. Today the Schinderhannes cycle path runs along this route. On the 15-kilometer Boppard - Emmelshausen section, the transport company Transdev operates regular local rail passenger transport (regional train line 37). Since there is a high demand from the area around Emmelshausen and Boppard-Buchholz, the trains in school traffic are tied through to the Boppard Süd stop."
