    If something is hidden on the side, you don't necessarily notice it at first.

    The horse fountain is located south of Johanniskreuz in the middle of the Palatinate Forest. It is one of the three springs that later feed the Schwarzbach. In 1896 it was decided to secure the water supply for the forester's house in Johanniskreuz by building a pumping station at the source of the horse creek. A pumping station with turbine operation was built, which pumped the water over 1,911 meters to a water tank and finally to Johanniskreuz. Today only the sandstone pump house remains from this complex.

      This is where the Pferdsbach has its source, one of the three source streams of the Schwarzbach (besides Burgalb and Teufelsbach).

        Is a bit hidden, not far from the pump house
