    The Herzogsbrunnen (Duke's Fountain) is a spring near Rödental-Oberwohlsbach and is located near the Hohe Schwenge peak and the quarry nature reserve near Taimbach. The following information can be found on the Rödental town website:
    "The area around Lauterburg Castle was once a favorite hunting ground of the Dukes of Coburg. It was a separate forestry district (see Taimbach Forester's House) and had its own forester. For all those involved in a hunt, the spring was a popular meeting place and resting place. So, it was only natural to name it "Herzogsbrunnen" (Duke's Fountain) when, in 1907, nature and hiking enthusiasts had it dug and the fountain created.
    The plaque on the Herzogsbrunnen bears the following inscription: "What you sought when you crossed the threshold of your house, here you will find it: the pure air, a drink from the cool spring – and deep rest in the quiet peace of the forest."

      Currently (May 2024) free of all kinds of wood again. But be careful in wet weather: the path has zero grip and the braking performance is severely reduced

        In my view, the most beautiful trail on the Carl-Escher-Weg with a short stop at the Herzogsbrunnen
