Small, beautiful, inconspicuous spring in the middle of the forest.

A spring, especially in Thuringia, is the name given to an artesian spring that is frequently found in the karst-like Muschelkalk areas of the Thuringian Basin. The term originates from the Middle High German word sprinc (High German: spring) and is also used in English to describe a well or spring.Thuringian springs are usually the source of water that has seeped into the ground elsewhere. This water sometimes flows for several kilometers through underground cracks and resurfaces at low-lying geological faults. (Excerpt from Wikipedia).
A very natural and shady rest area is located in the immediate vicinity of the Försterquelle.
