    The Rodalbener formerly used the rocks as a beer cellar. Where they could store the beer quite cool.

      Our grandfathers also loved cold beer, but how did you do it without a fridge? A visit to the old beer cellar explains so many things.

        It used to be important to keep the beer cool, just a shame that you can't go into the old vault.

          A special feature of the old beer cellar is that the luminous moss thrives in the cave vault. (lat. Schistotega pennata). The moss that grows in shady locations can reflect the light and thus illuminate the basement somewhat.

            The locals used to cool their beer here. Very interesting. Unfortunately, the cave is closed by bars.

              The "Alter Bierkeller" on Bergstraße served as a storage facility - with an almost constant storage temperature of around 7°C - for the beer of one of the three breweries that existed in Rodalben until 1903.

                Unfortunately completely closed off with a construction fence, only a small view was possible

                  Very interesting here at the beer cellar

                    Visually less of a highlight, but the story behind it is very interesting. This "cave" was previously used as a beer cellar by a local brewery. So that it was a constant 7 degrees in summer as well, blocks of ice were brought into the cave from nearby waters in winter and covered with wood chips so that they melted away more slowly.

                          Without the information board, you would probably walk past. The former beer cellar is locked. But I can well imagine that the beer was well chilled here. There is also a seating area here for resting
