You leave Worms by following a natural zone, a first industrial zone to go around and then a new natural zone, it is this alternation which will follow one another during your day. Use the cycle paths, with caution, which are at your disposal to avoid walking along the roadsides.

    The Nibelungen Museum in Worms

    The name Nibelungen Museum is only appropriate to the site. You won't see any works of art on display but all the heritage of the Nibelungen is presented and interpreted in futuristic architecture.
    The song of the Nibelungen, written around 1200 is the most important epic legend of the Middle Ages, comparable to the ancient legend of Troy.
    Siegfried's entry into Worms and the quarrel of the queens in front of the cathedral are two of many scenes that take place in and around Worms. Not forgetting the immersion of the famous Nibelungen treasure by Hagen in the Rhine. Many of the people and events described in the Nibelungen song are a historical testimony.

    Frankenthal Canal Dam Lock

    During this stage you will walk along a small park with a stream in the middle. This is the former lock of the Frankenthal Canal, a town 4,000 metres to the west. The canal connected the very commercial city with the Rhine over a length of 4,500 metres. A harbour made of ashlar was at the location of the docks behind you.
    When the French revolutionary troops conquered the Left Palatinate region of the Electoral Palatinate from 1793 onwards, the bridges, dams and walls of the canal were so badly damaged by the fighting that it was no longer usable just six years after its commissioning.
    With the construction of the railways, the importance of the canal continued to diminish. However, the imperial bell of Cologne Cathedral, cast in Frankenthal by Andreas Hamm and weighing 26 tonnes, was still being transported to the Rhine on one of the canal ships in 1875.
    In the second half of the 16th century, refugees from the Netherlands, persecuted for their religious beliefs, settled in Frankenthal. Their work brought economic prosperity to the town. Some of them were carpet weavers, jewellers and artists, thanks to whom the Frankenthaler Malerschule (the Frankenthal School of Painting) was founded.
