🚿 The Elschbrunnen fountain on the edge of the Eichswieser Valley was first mentioned around 1600. Redesigned in 1931 by the "Alpenrose" association, it developed into an idyllic recreational area with a barbecue area, shelter, and benches.
Today, the area is managed by the Dittweiler Nature and Bird Conservation Association – especially during the breeding season, the Elschbrunnen fountain is an acoustic experience: Early in the morning, you can hear the song of rare species here.
Despite the elk on the fountain stone, the name has nothing to do with the animal itself – it derives from "Elsborn."
