It's a visible sign that spring is coming: the maypole. In Ruhpolding, its erection by the boys of the traditional costume club "D'Miesenbacher" is a tradition. The current tree, a nearly 100-year-old, 25-meter-tall larch from the Neustadl mountain forest, is quite unusual: It has two decorated tops. These are called "Zwiesel" (canopies).

Next to the Maistüberl stands the high maypole, worth seeing, and in front of it is the fountain with Mary with baby Jesus.
