The small fountain with the resting place is idyllically situated on the edge of the forest. From here you have a great view of Niedenstein and the surrounding area. The Altenburg hiking car park is very close by.

Hiking

Very nice and informative rest area at the intersection of the Habichtswaldsteig and its extra tours H5 & H6.

The local water comes from the "Wallquelle" located 150 m higher, a presumably medieval spring on the outer wall of the Altenburg.
