    Hiking

    At this point I would like to quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909-1979), who was known to a wide audience for his pun and “Noch'n Gedicht”, in a short quatrain about the market fountain in Langenzenn:
    "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. "

    Beautiful old half-timbered houses around it. And right next door is a good ice cream parlor.
