The place is relatively inconspicuous. But if you realize that this is the Moselle, one of the most beautiful rivers in Germany, then it is uplifting to stop for a while.

This fountain located at 731 meters above sea level, near the Bussang pass in the Vosges department, is presented as the official source of the Moselle, but the river is formed from the meeting of several streams, some of which deaf to more than 1,000 meters, on the slopes of Grand Drumont.

The Moselle ("Musel" in Luxembourgish, "Mosel" in German) is a river in the north-east of France, Luxembourg and West Germany, tributary to the left bank of the Rhine. It gives its name to two French departments: Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle. It takes its source in the Vosges massif at the Bussang pass and flows into the Rhine in Koblenz, Germany. Its total length is 560 kilometers: 314 kilometers in France, 39 bordering Luxembourg and Germany, and 208 exclusively in Germany. It is on this river that is located the tripoint Germany-France-Luxembourg.

Watching the tiny Moselle at its birth is of course definitely worth a detour. The N66 is of course preferable to the side road up from Bussang.
