The Hermannsborn fountain is located along the Birkenheiner Landstraße. It served the cattle as a drinking trough, which was then carried in the Middle Ages. The Birkenheiner Landstrasse was a busy military and trade route on the route from the northwest to the southeast. Since in the valley along the rivers like the Main the area was heavily forested and swamped, the "roads" led along the ridges at that time. The Hermannsborn fountain is already on the Hessian side.
