    The Elsa Host Fountain (with a memorial stone from 1955 and a pleasant bench) stands by a small pond above the larger Morschbach Pond.

    The couple Elsa and Albrecht Host rendered outstanding service to the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV) and are honored here at the Morschbach Pond by the PWV in a special way.

    The fountain is named after Elsa Host, "a 'club poet' [of the PWV Weidenthal-Frankenstein] who died in the late 1960s. Her husband, Albert Host, was chairman of the PWV Weidenthal local group for over 50 years. The 'Albert Host Oak,' dedicated to him, stands opposite the fountain."
