    Nice, shady rest area in the middle of the forest and slightly off the main paths.

      The dolphin fountain is located between the new Ulmenweg, which runs at the height of the Seeber Hütte, and the path from the Waldhaus to the “Schwarzen Stock” near Dingsleben, near the historic ring wall of the former Steinsburg rampart.
      As for the history of the Dolphin Fountain, not too much is known, at least as far as its older history is concerned.
      He found the term "Dolphinbrunnen" for the first time in a Steinsburg guide by Constantin Kümpel from 1922.
      The reopening took place in the 110th year of the existence of the dolphin fountain, accompanied by music from the Hainaer Jagdhornbläser.

        On the west side of the Kleiner Gleichberg is at an altitude of about 510
        m above sea level. the dolphin fountain, also called Wiesenbrünnle. Shows the viewer
        There is a well room made of natural stone with a cast iron plate in it
        with the inscription "Blessing pours down from heaven and earth gives it back"
        was admitted. In contrast to the well rooms of the grave well is here
        the spring water is actually visible and tangible (drinkable). It runs out of an iron
        Figure in the form of a fish-like animal, which is probably based on the name
        to represent a dolphin. A fountain basin is not visible, the water
        seeps into the ground. The runoff of the dolphin fountain is considered to be the source of the
        "Wiesleinbächchens", which is finally fed by numerous tributaries into the
        Spring flows out.
