Maischquelle Rest Area with Shelter

I am enthusiastic about this source with hut and grill, especially about the new "mash drink machine" from FFW Kennfus. The firefighters know the dangers in dry forests and are experts in firefighting. Thank you for the delicious refreshment.

The mash spring is a so-called layer spring that emerges from the mountain. Such source outlets can be found wherever comparatively young volcanic loose deposits lie on top of the old rocks from the Devonian geological age. Here at the mash spring you can see very well how the water, which seeps away on the surface but cannot penetrate through clay and slate, thus emerges again on the bearing surface. It is precisely at this transition from the dark volcanic rock to the lighter rocks of the subsurface that the water drips from the wall.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly much beauty in
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it."
(H.Erhardt)
