Hiking

According to legend, in the 11th century, a Benedictine monk from Saalfeld climbed here and fell asleep exhausted. Half asleep, he perceived Saint James, who instructed him to stay at this spot and baptize people. The necessary water bubbled up from several springs after the monk repeatedly poked his staff into the ground. The springs were channeled into wells and were a regular destination for pilgrimages until the 16th century. One of the wells has been reconstructed.

Very nice little place part of Munschwitz. I think there used to be three wells here.
