Best Hikes to Roman spring sanctuary Heidenfelsen
Tips
The Heidenfelsen is a Roman spring sanctuary, which originated in the middle of the 3rd century. Two stones are still preserved. The left stone shows three seated source deities, who are given offerings. On the right stone is a sacrificial figure at the altar, two other figures are located next to it. The water of the spring has been attributed to healing powers in eye diseases.

In the two sandstones amazingly detailed god figures are carved. To the right of that springs a spring.
