Small wayside cross with a rest area and a nice view down over the village - a good excuse for a short pause.

Beautiful little castle, which a Bavarian king, fond of the Palatinate, had built as a summer residence in the vineyards above Roth near Riedburg. Great eye-catcher and a popular photo motif.

"The wayside cross known as the Five Wounds Cross stands in the field along Ackerbrückenweg in Maikammer. Its location is directly on the border with the municipality of St. Martin. It was donated in 1733 by Tobias Benedikt Schneider (born January 11, 1701), a cooper from St. Martin who owned property in Maikammer. The cross is made of red sandstone. At the top of the cross is an inscription in the form of a stylized parchment scroll with the inscription: INRI = Iesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. The cross shaft and the ends of the crossbeams terminate in a trefoil shape. Three-leaf clovers are interpreted as a symbol of the Trinity. They represent God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Crosses of this type are also called "Lazarus Crosses."

In front of the Alsterweiler Chapel are interesting information panels about Alsterweiler, its inhabitants (known locally as "Alsterweiler Mucker"), and its sights. To the right behind the chapel (and therefore easily overlooked) stands a large mission cross from 1852 with the following inscription: "In remembrance of the mission held in the parish church of Maikammer by the Reverend Fathers of the Society of Jesus Roder and Zeil from June 27 to July 11, 1852." ``` “A mission cross [= memorial] commemorates the so-called popular missions of earlier times. Until the 19th century, groups of two or three priests from different orders traveled from parish to parish. They often stayed for several days or even weeks (in Maikammer with Alsterweiler, from June 27 to July 11, 1852) with the aim of renewing and converting the Christian people. This type of popular conversion was probably initiated by the Jesuits in the 18th century. [...] (Matthias C.S. Dreyer, 2018)” Source (quoted verbatim): https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-286709 ```

Behind the Alsterweiler Chapel, a historic vineyard was created [as part of the 1984 land consolidation project], illustrating the evolution of vine training from the Middle Ages to modern cultivation after the land consolidation. - Source: Information panel on site

The Hund winery in Venningen, are dedicated winemakers who produce the first new wine of the year from the Solaris and Ortega grape varieties. The winery is a hotspot for cyclists. People from all over gather in the winegrowers' courtyard to sample the new wines. A wide selection of regional dishes is served through the kitchen window. Friendly service is provided, and everything is very reasonably priced.

Unfortunately, it was no longer in operation. As of June 22, 2025, at 35°C 🥵😅 So I wouldn't rely on it.
