The Volkwin fountain is located on the market square in Schwalenberg and is fed by the town water from the Magdalenen spring. On the fountain is written: "This water was dug by two men and was freed from their chains in ancient times. The men are dead, the water never dies, and still springs merrily from the mountain today as it did in ancient times."
