There is a special natural oasis to discover in the old wine-growing village of Laubenheim: the lower zone of the Laubenheim floodplain stretches along the 400-meter-wide Rhine as part of a strip of floodplain and reed beds that accompanies the river. Like the village center, this lies five meters below the level of the Rhine.

The marshland and numerous ditches are ideal for lush flora and fauna. Flood channels that emerged from old branches of the Rhine, brick ponds created by clay extraction, a pond designed for nature conservation, wet hollows, as well as dams and ditches characterize the characteristic image of the floodplain today.

To the west, the marshland is bordered by the slopes of the Rheinhessen plateau with the highest point in the area, the Laubenheimer Höhe (196 meters). The Laubenheimer Ried nature reserve is a very attractive place for walkers to enjoy some peaceful relaxation.
