Description    Deutsch  ·  English

The Weschnitz has its source near Grasellenbach-Hammelbach. The source is located at 455 meters above sea level and is located on a leisure park with a small lake and a grill hut. It flows through the village Weschnitz and Fürth, Rimbach, Mörlenbach, Birkenau and further on to Weinheim. There she bends to the northwest and is divided into two arms: the Old Weschnitz and the New Weschnitz. In Lorsch unite their two arms again and flows at Biblis near the former nuclear power plant after nearly 59 kilometers and 370 meters above sea level into the Rhine River.

There is an information board (which is also in English) that mentions more background information about the history of the name. Here you will find the solutions to the following questions:

  1. What is the name of the Weschnitz in the oldest records?
  2. From where comes the stone of the well?
  3. In which year was the source lined?

You will receive the solution word for logging by separating the three answers with spaces.
