Baptisms today would be a dusty affair… there was no water

Hiking

On the summit region of the baptismal font, a few meters south-east of the Bismarck Tower, is the Bonifatiusborn (also known as the Bonifatiusbrunnen). According to legend, Bonifatius, the "Apostle of the Germans", preached here. The fountain has no source, only a stone border.

Great way to get there. First you see the baptismal font and then the Bonifatiusborn. Boniface is said to have baptized there many years ago.
