    Hiking

    The Ave rises here just a stone's throw from the hiking trail of the same name. According to legend, there were once more than 50 small spring pots here, from which the water just gushed. Only one of the springs was considered to have healing properties. But if you drank from the wrong source, you should die quickly. Those who were healed by the water said afterwards that in their search for the right source, a beautiful lion shining in the light appeared to them, who is said to have shown them the right source.

    At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
    To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his pun and "Noch'n Gedicht", with a short quatrain:
    "There is certainly a lot of beautiful about it,
    on the element, the wet.
    Because you can drink the water.
    But you can - also leave it alone. "
    (H.Erhardt)
