Usually, abandoned villages consist of a sign and nothing else. The abandoned village of Gerwigshain has church remains and a spring, which helps to stimulate the imagination. Like the Glockenborn, I imagine a swampy spring hole in the middle of the forest in which a church bell could be sunk.

Very well suited to take a break. I recommend this place for hikers and cyclists.
