The Bruderfelsen (Brother's Rock) offers a beautiful view of Fleckenstein Castle, located to the southeast. A few steps down to the right (on the south side) of the rock will reveal a former cistern with a connecting passage to a rock chamber. Historians believe this was a former watchtower of Fleckenstein Castle, likely dating back to the 13th century.

A great place for camping, a good restaurant, a great welcome, beautiful hiking and biking trails. Thanks to the owners, very accommodating.

Not far from Hohenbourg Castle, near the German-French border, lies the Maiden's Fountain, which bears witness to a tragic story: For a long time, the lords of Hohenbourg and Wegelnburg were enemies. And as fate would have it, the squire Robert von Wegehiburg fell in love with Edwige, daughter of the lord of Hohenbourg. She often lingered at the abundant spring between the two castles. One day, Robert went hunting. He chased a wild boar that was heading towards the spring where Edwige was. In the heat of the moment, the boar leaped at Edwige, but Robert, a skilled hunter, managed to catch it just in time, and with this act, he won his beloved's heart. The two often spent time secretly at this spring between the feuding castles. But one day, the lord of Hohenbourg surprised his daughter in the arms of his arch-enemy's son. In a blind rage, he stabbed Robert to death before Edwige's eyes. She collapsed with grief and died on the spot, instantly following her lover into the realm of the dead. Since that terrible day, two forget-me-not bushes have grown at this spring, which is now known as the Maiden's Fountain. It is not uncommon to see a white shadow above the Maiden's Fountain at dusk: this is the ghost of Edwige, descending from the cellars of Hohenbourg Castle to visit the place of her love. There she sings mournful words and sheds tears into the stream before being carried away by the wind.

There is a fantastic view from here.

Nowadays it is a particularly beautiful place, with a great view of Gebüg (a district of Schönau) and Fischbach with the district of Unterpetersbächlerhof. On May 13, 1940, however, during World War II, a cruel battle took place on Maimont - both on the main summit and on the secondary summit (= site of today's Peace Cross) - in which numerous French and German soldiers lost their lives. The German side had started the (surprise) attack. The description of these events can be found in the village chronicle of Petersbächel: https://www.petersbaechel.de/petersbaechel.html
