North-side ascent/descent to Rotsteig

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The "Rotsteig" is at an altitude of 340 m. The north-east driveway from Wachenheim is about 7 km long and about 216 meters in altitude have to be overcome. The route for almost completely through the Palatinate Forest. The asphalt is unfortunately getting a bit old.

Rotsteig Pass (340 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The climb from both sides is very nice to drive and certainly a challenge on a tour, but on sunny days there is absolute traffic chaos at the parking lots and wild parking

Deidesheim History and Traditions Fountain

Highlight • Monument

"Significant events in the older and more recent Deidesheim history and customs are represented symbolically:

Vine:
The central element of the fountain is the vine. The vine, like water, is a symbol of life in the Christian West. For Deidesheim, however, the vine is much more than a symbol of life: from the beginning until today it has been the real element that has shaped Deidesheim's development. Consequently, only the vine could stand in the center of a fountain, the themes of which are the history and customs of Deidesheim.

Crown:
it refers to King Wenzel, who gave Deidesheim town charter in 1395.

Shepherd's staff:
the shepherd's crook stands for almost 700 years of Deidesheim's membership in the Prince Diocese of Speyer.

Helmet:
it is reminiscent of the knight von Böhl, who established the Bürgerhospital Foundation as early as 1494, which is still very active today.

Tricorn:
it is a reference to the Deidesheimer costume of the traditional folk dance group, which has been active in the cultivation of customs for over 60 years.

Billy goat:
the billy goat stands for the tribute that the city of Lambrecht has had to pay to the city of Deidesheim for grazing rights since the Middle Ages.

Suitcase:
the suitcase refers to the emigrants and especially to the founder Frank J. Lyden, whose foundation ultimately made the construction of the fountain possible.

Cylinder:
it stands for the "Deidesheimer Kerwebuwe", which has been opening the Deidesheimer Weinkerwe since 1972 with a humorous speech.

Inkwell:
The inkwell symbolizes a still young tradition, the tower writing of the Foundation for the Promotion of Literature, founded in 1978. "
