Already on our way from the parking lot to Rhodt’s centre and Theresienstrasse we saw these distribution boxes which are painted all over with wine and fruits and other colourful motifs. We saw even more in Theresienstrasse! After some research in www I found out that these paintings have been initiated by Rhodt Academy (unfortunately no website), when artist students have been inspired to paint 20 of these boxes with motifs representing “Mediterranean fruit garden”. I love the idea, homage to the very much Mediterranean climate in the region and the diversity of southern European fruit which grows here.
Rhodt’s tourist office provides a map with locations of each of these 20 boxes; a walking path through the village connects each of them.
