Niederheimbach
The town Niederheimbach is located underneath Heimburg Castle on height of the double island Lorcher Werth. At that time every ship took a pilot on board in Niederheimbach, because the cliff-rich passage past the Lorcher Werth in direction to Bingen was very dangerous. Thus Niederheimbach lived particularly on the lucrative Rhine navigation and on the viticulture.
Worth seeing are parts of the historic ring wall, the Pest Altar in the Church Niederheimbach from the 11th century as well as a Madonna from the 17th century.
The town is located on the route of the castle and palaces bicycle tour and the canoe tour through the
World Heritage. Sporting activities in particular hiking on the trail "Rhein Burgen Wanderweg" are
possible.
