De bedste landevejsruter omkring Steinweiler

Located at the corner of Hauptstraße and Brotäckerstraße

Built in 1811 to celebrate the birth of Napoleon I's son - obviously occupied by the French for too long 😅

They have delicious ice cream here.🍨

Resting Stones and Napoleon Benches Written by Alexander Klein (www.rittersteineundmehr.de) In many places in the Palatinate, Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, and Alsace, you can often find these somewhat dated sandstone benches. They stand along roads or paths, on former postal routes, on mountain passes, by streams, by lakes, in clearings, under trees, at high crosses, etc. These are "seating and storage furniture" designed to rest a load carried on the head or back on the higher surfaces (lintel or widened capital), and to rest on the bench next to or underneath it. Most often, it was women (e.g., market women, farmers' wives, maids, etc.) who carried firewood, crops, butter, hay, manure, etc. in baskets on their heads and thus covered long distances. The benches erected between the 18th and 19th centuries were popular resting places. They are colloquially known as Napoleon benches, butter benches, resting stones, or post benches. /www.heimat-pfalz.de/pfalz-geschichte/geschichte/835-ruhesteine-und-napoleonsbaenke.html

Nice and shady and cool even when the sun is shining.

Great bike path with great views 👍

A beautiful bike path, definitely. But when the weather's nice, there are lots of dog walkers and cyclists.

Rheinzabern - the center of the world. I'm already gone....
