The Oppenheimer Toad Fountain originally served the water supply of the city of Oppenheim. Today, you can rest here when you are on the Rhine Terraces Trail.
Oppenheimer Toad Fountain
Those walking along the RheinTerrassenWeg will pass by the Oppenheimer Toad Fountain. This famous vineyard site owes its name to an old water system that once served the city's water supply. An approximately 30-meter deep, now decommissioned tunnel captured rainwater there and channeled it to Oppenheim. Today, this spot is a popular resting point for hikers. From here, there is a great view of Oppenheim and the vineyard landscape.
