Tips
The Siegfriedsquelle not only looks wildly romantic, it is also a great way to fill up your water bottle with refreshing spring water. It is very close to the Drachenlager trekking camp.

Quaint looking source. Personally, however, I wouldn't drink from it. ;-)

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source:
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain:
"There's certainly a lot of beauty in it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can leave it alone."
