Wörrstadt
Wörrstadt is a town in the Alzey-Worms district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Geography Location The town lies in Rhenish Hesse on the northwest edge of the Upper Rhine Plain. It is the seat of the like-named ''Verbandsgemeinde''. Wörrstadt is surrounded by typical Rhenish-Hessian countryside: In places that are favourable to the purpose, there is intensive winegrowing, and in less exposed locations, cropraising. The Rhenish-Hessian countryside is widely cleared, with natural vegetation hard to find or not present at all. This makes Wörrstadt a bit of a peculiarity in Rhenish Hesse, as it has one of the region's smallest wooded areas in the Neuborn. In these woods are found many natural springs whose water feeds the ''Verbandsgemeinde’s'' swimming pool. Flowing through Wörrstadt is the river Mühlbach. Wörrstadt lies at an elevation that affords charming and, for Rhenish Hesse, remarkable views into the distance. From Wörrstadt, one can see the Donnersberg, the ...
