The source of the Trubalb lies a bit off the Sandhasenweg. A short detour there is definitely worth it. This source has never been captured. It rises in an idyllic, rustic nature.

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 pun and “Noch'n Gedicht”, with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly a lot of beautiful about it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it alone. "
(H.Erhardt)

The Trualbe (also: Trualb, French: Ruisseau d'Eppenbrunn) is a 9 km long tributary of the Hornbach. The Trualbe, along with its tributaries, drains the extreme southwest of the Palatinate Forest and the southeast of the Zweibrücken Hills. The Hornbach, which receives it, is then also called "Trualbe" until it reaches the town of Hornbach.

The Trualbe rises on the northeastern edge of Trulben and flows southwest through the town. At the Trulbermühle (mill), the Eppenbrunner Bach, which is of equal size, joins it from the left. From here, its course continues predominantly westward, passing the Schweixermühle (mills) and Hilstermühle (mills). Below the Hilstermühle (mill), the Trualbe leaves German territory and flows into the Grand Est region, into the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park. It passes Walschbronn and flows into the Hornbach from the right near Waldhouse, which flows into the Schwarzbach, which in turn flows into the Blies.

Crossing over a tree trunk on the upper path through the stream bed. Railings are available for both variants, surefootedness required.

You pass the source when you go on the Trulber Sandhasentour (premium hiking trail, 11km long circular route).
