    The rest bench was beautifully renovated by G. K. from Esthal in August 2019 and has a poem on the front! 👍😀

    "At the well there is [...] an old stone trough, which probably served as a cattle trough for the cattle farmers who passed there with their animals. The name of the well can probably be traced back to the former users of the well - the heathens. (Eitelmann , p. 115)"

      The Heidenbrunnen is an old cattle-trough, the old stone trough is still preserved and full of spring water. A little above was the former old high road and the cattle could be supplied with water here.

        Good that on the rock on the road, the reference to the pagan fountain. The Heidenbrunnen is a bit out of the woods.
