The Old Cemetery is located south-east of Stadecken-Elsheim and was formerly part of the Hedesheim deserted area, which was abandoned in the 14th century to move closer to the then newly built Stadeck Castle.

From 1732 - 1998 salt for baths and foods was produced with the help of these salt waterfalls.
An extraordinary event location in the vault of a listed winery. You should have seen this place in the geographic heart of Rhinehesse.
