    The name is deceptive: Emil's fountain is not a fountain but a natural spring in Altdorf near Nuremberg.

      You almost run past it.
      I only discovered it at the 2X.
      Unfortunately, there is currently no water flowing from Emil's well.

        At the source "Emil's Well" there is a somewhat weathered memorial stone from 1911. The stone commemorates Emil Freiherr v. Stromer. The inscription reads "In memory of the family administrator ..."

          because it is a piece of untouched nature with lots of "Stromer" forest on the outside, with tributaries of the Schwarzach, over small rocks the water splashes in the sand bed, rare herbs grow here, the birds chirp - what more do you want for recreation?

            In my opinion, everyone who lives nearby should see this

              If it has rained a lot before, crossing the small creek can be a bit of a challenge

                Nice in the summer. In winter it is very muddy with deeper water.

                  A walk here is really worthwhile.

                          The path is adventurous and wildly romantic, but not difficult to walk.
