Alzey

A wine-country town in Rhenish Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Alzey sits in a region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites and carries a walkable centre with cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. The town holds a particular place in German literary history as one of the Nibelungenstädte — towns linked to the medieval epic Nibelungenlied — represented by the character Volker von Alzey, which gives the town its secondary name, Volkerstadt.
