    A really impressive fountain. A refuge is also included.

      Coming from Hetzbach, the fountain is a sign that the climb is almost over. It's a lovely place to take a break.

      "A fountain located east of Hetzbach, in the Hetzbach Forest. The so-called Königsbrunnen (King's Fountain) was first mentioned as "Cuningesbrunnen" in the 819th century in the description of the boundaries of the Mark Michelstadt. Its current appearance dates back to a design from 1904, for which the Hetzbach architect Heinrich Kumpf and the Hetzbach stonemason Wilhelm Helmstetter are said to be responsible."

        Beautiful fountain with rest stop. Because of the wetness the refuge came very convenient.
