🐍 Snake Fountain on the Preußensteig Trail – legendary forest spring
Located deep in the forest, the Snake Fountain has been feeding a cool, clear spring for centuries. Its name is reminiscent of ancient legends – whether snakes really once lived here remains a mystery. Today, the mossy fountain invites you to take a quiet rest.
Tip: Perfect for a short break in the shade of old trees – but drinking water quality has not been tested!
