The Wineyard-House "Schindegaul" is a small refuge which, like many others of its kind, offers shelter or a dry shelter to winegrowers, but also to hikers or cyclists in bad weather.

In 2004, two predecessor buildings of the Saal Church were discovered during archaeological excavations on the Saalplatz. The older of these buildings is a so-called tri-apsidal church (Trikonchos), named after its three semicircular building ends, which resemble the shape of a cloverleaf remember.

Above the village, the "Rondell" – a natural monument – offers a resting place for hikers and cyclists. The Rheinhessian Jakob Pilgrimage Trail, which is also suitable for cyclists in this area, leads directly past the new Vendersheim Tower. From here, you have a wonderful view over the Rheinhessian landscape and its vineyards all the way to the Donnersberg and, in good weather, to the skyline of Frankfurt. At the large winemaker's table next to the tower, even large groups can comfortably take a break together at one table.
