    A beautiful, well-kept rest area with a spring. 👌

        Unfortunately no drinking water. Otherwise, a nice place.

            Very nice rest area with a small spring. You can enjoy the peace and quiet in the middle of the forest.

              Source. But you have to scoop or pump.

                Fresh corner. But there is drinking water.

                  This is a tributary of the Taugwitz that rises here. It is one of the few places on the Rennsteig where you cross a stream.

                  May 2024: The water smells good, tastes good, is cold, clear and clean, and there is no cow pasture or human settlement above it.

                  If you want to declare the spring water as drinking water, you have to have it tested regularly and at great expense. In addition, the spring would probably have to be re-captured. Nobody does that. So you just write: Not drinking water, on the information sign.

                  In May 2024, when the spring was bubbling well next to the cap, I drank about half a liter and didn't get into any trouble.

                  The new Frankenwald Kobach trekking site is not far away. About 100 m along the Rennsteig to the north and then a short stretch to the west, slightly uphill.
