Tips

Ein 🐟 namens Wander

June 2, 2019

At this point, several trails overlap, u. a. Westweg and Murgleiter with the "Gausbacher Sagenweg". The Hexenbrunnen is part of the Gausbach sagas that were staged by artists - as well as the Hexenstein, right next door on the Ringwiese and the Schulmeisterfelsen a bit higher up at the huts.
Drinking water flows from the Witches' Well, which can be used to refill the bottles, and in the small stream next to it there is a water tread to revive your tired feet.
Why the witch's right breast is so shiny can only be guessed ...

The witches fountain is located on the ring meadow above Gausbach. According to tradition, the ring meadow is for a ring of witches why an oversized stone witches broom and the witches fountain can be found here. However, no historical Überbleisel special created by artists works of art.

In winter the faucet seems to have frozen over and there is no water in the well, but the stream itself still flows beautifully.
