Best Hikes to Pig Fountain Zons

Tips

  • At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source,
    where it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'well':
    To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
    "There is certainly much beauty in
    on the element, the wet.
    Because you can drink the water.
    But you can - also leave it."
    (H.Erhardt)

  • The fountain was built in 1959 and is reminiscent of the Zonser "pig feud"

  • The pig fountain in Zons is certainly one of the must-see attractions in the old town. Admittedly, it doesn't actually come from the Middle Ages, but from 1959 and was created by the sculptor Bernhard Lohf. The pig fountain takes up the historical occurrence of the so-called "Zons pig feud" from the year 1575/1577, in which soldiers of the then Cologne Archbishop Salentin von Isenburg stole the Zons pig herd, consisting of 50 pigs.
