In Ginsheim am Rhein, there's a ship mill that can be visited. It was reconstructed in 2011 and can also be visited with a guided tour – highly recommended 😉 You can continue walking leisurely along the old Rhine branch, passing the historic excavator and the Steinspirale Einheit (Steinspiral Unit).
