Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

September 25, 2023

For decades, the Marienquelle and the associated fountain stone lay at 865 meters away from the marked hiking trails. Hikers who started the final sprint on the high trail from Hohenbrand to reach the summit of the Kösseine did not notice the historically significant place they were marching past.

In recent years, the Nagel local group of the Fichtelgebirgsverein has taken on the task of restoring the important fountain system. A new water pipe was laid from the fountain room to the mountain path. The original fountain stone with the year 1852 carved on the back was then attached to a base plate. FGV member Hans Hütter donated the fountain trough.

Great little fountain that is good for a dip. There is also a bank for resting.
