People in the Middle Ages believed that special powers were at work in this place and told of strange experiences. The place in front of the old fountain is also said to have been used for social gatherings.
One story tells of the Count of Eberstein, who is said to have fallen down from the street here. He claimed that a ghost appeared to him. This ghost frightened his horse and threw him off. But perhaps he had previously sat in the inn for too long and could no longer hold himself properly on the horse?

Fountain with fresh clear water. A welcome refreshment.
