Here, just before the sculpture, the Aich relaxes after one of the canalized sections and begins to ripple in its picturesque meanders under the trees.
Until recently, I didn't know that the simple sculpture had such "profound foundations", I just drove or walked past "quickly"...
So then at the start of the hike - so too and at the finish - God be with us!

Four simple stone pillars arranged in a square stand by the stream near Aich.

The signpost “With you, God, is the source” is arranged with limestone steles so that a cross is formed in the middle. Stone slabs with words from Psalm 36 lead to the limestone steles. The sign was inaugurated in September 2017. A bench invites you to take a break right next to the sign.
The waymark is an artistic-social project in which the artist and stone sculptor Carla Mausch worked with refugees to create the four steles and the stone slabs.

Fetching water has always been a job for women. Hard physical work, often long distances, every day. We now have our water conveniently from the tap. What was it like before? What is it like elsewhere? And what meaning does the Bible verse have if the source of the water is not the tap?
