These vines are truly veterans: The "Rhodter Rosengarten" is already over 400 years old – and still produces wine. According to oral tradition, the vineyard in the wine village of Rhodt unter Rietburg is said to have existed even before the Thirty Years' War, which took place from 1618 to 1648. This makes the Rosengarten the oldest still-producing vineyard in the Palatinate – if not the world. To this day, 300 vines stand on the approximately 600 square meter area, mostly Traminer vines with individual Silvaner stocks in between. Who planted them is not known. However, wine was probably grown in Rhodt unter Rietburg as early as Roman times – in any case, the place has been known for its Traminer since the Middle Ages.

Behind the stone is a bench that wraps around the tree, and nearby are some almond trees, which are beautiful during the blossoming season. From here, you can already see the vineyards and Hambach Castle. The wine shop mentioned by Tina must be very popular, because by early Friday afternoon, its parking lot was full and all the seats in the sun were taken.

Bernd Baumann has donated a boulder fountain to the public in the Alsterweiler Tälchen. It was handed over on October 15, 2017. Every year, the bar of Kredenburg owner Bernd Baumann from Maikammer opens in July. The bar is run by volunteers from the "Obere Friedhofstrasse Family Circle". The profits are donated annually to public community work. The owner attaches great importance to the fact that the proceeds are used for good causes. This year, the boulder fountain was handed over to the community. The boulder was expertly worked by a friend, the stonemason Johannes Baumann. The fountain now bears a kind of Bacchus face with the inscription "Alsterweiler Fountain".

The Alster fountain is located on the outskirts of Maikammer. The spring is not guaranteed to be fresh all year round and is not monitored and has no designated drinking water. So be careful! I wouldn't necessarily drink it.
