Hiking

In the past, people came from far away to get water here. Goethe is also said to have mentioned the fountain. Beautiful fountain system!

Hiking

In the 18th century, the Auerbach spring was said to have a healing effect. Initially, the "healing water" was bottled in barrels and enjoyed increasing popularity as an "export commodity". On this basis, the princely camp and the Goethe fountain were built. Already in 1930, however, dried up the source and the place lost its function.
