    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.

    The Heidenbrunnen is a contained spring with a trough and inscription. The well served as a watering place for livestock. Northwest above on the height is a junction of two old high roads. The users of these roads supplied themselves and their livestock with water at this well. The name is probably due to the fact that the people associated the well with these former users, the unknown and legendary prehistoric inhabitants of the land, the so-called heathens. At the top of the path is Ritterstein number 142 "Heidenbrunnen 100 Schr.".
