The story behind the Goose Fountain is as follows: As recently as the beginning of the 20th century, communal goose-herding existed in some Rhenish-Hessian towns, including Bechtolsheim. The shepherd would go from farm to farm, blowing the horn to gather the geese, sometimes several hundred of them, which he would lead out of the village into the fields and meadows to graze. In the evening, they would return. I think it's great that the knowledge of this tradition isn't lost... so this fountain is something like a "Rhenish-Hessian knight's stone"!

The Selz River rises near Orbis on the northern edge of the Donnersberg district. It flows through the districts of Alzey-Worms and Mainz-Bingen, a historically densely populated, intensively farmed cultural landscape. After approximately 63 kilometers, the Selz empties into the Rhine near Ingelheim. Its 375-square-kilometer catchment area is characterized by a warm, dry climate with annual precipitation around 500 millimeters. Despite its low and often irregular flow, the Selz is considered a vital artery for the arid Rhine-Hessian hill country. The Selz Association carried out renaturalization projects along the Selz as early as the beginning of the 1990s, which garnered significant attention beyond the region.

The Selz is a 61 km long, southern and left tributary of the Rhine and one of the main waterways in Rhenish Hesse.[5] It flows in the Rhenish Hesse table and hill country in Rhineland-Palatinate through the Palatinate Donnersberg district and the Rhenish Hesse districts of Alzey-Worms and Mainz-Bingen.

A truly impressive fountain commemorating the goose herding in the village

A very beautiful fountain in the middle of the town centre.

Exceptional fountain that reflects a tradition of Bechtolsheim. Very beautiful and very complex. A plaque explains precisely the origin of this tradition

Lots of helpful information on the boards for the cycle paths, there is also a bench for a rest

The Selztal cycle path runs 68 kilometers from Ingelheim via Nieder-Olm to Alzey and Orbis.
