The Ottilienquelle spring was created in 1894 by Johann Baptist Moser and named in honor of his wife and daughter. It is located on an old Philippsgrube mine tunnel and is now a popular resting place. The current shelter dates from 1977.

Perched above the wooded hills, the Hoher Fels mountain inn is a rustic retreat with a view and heart. Its location right on the edge of the forest makes it an ideal destination for hikers, cyclists, and day-trippers. Inside, regional cuisine awaits you in a cozy atmosphere, while outside, the view of the Palatinate hills beckons. 💡 Tip: It's best to stop by during the week – it's quieter then, and the view from the terrace is almost yours to enjoy alone.

This lovingly designed information panel tells the story of the Ottilienquelle spring's origins, construction, and transformation – a traditional rest stop in the Potzberg region, once of great importance to hikers, pilgrims, and working-class families. 📍 Tip: The shady spot with its bench and canopy is perfect for a longer reading break – a refreshing stop, especially on hot days.

📝 The Ottilien Spring is located in the "Wildfrauenloch" (Wild Woman's Hole) in the municipality of Rutsweiler am Glan, below the Schwarzenkopf mountain. First mentioned in 1303, it was captured in 1894 by forestry assessor Johann Baptist Moser and equipped with a well. The water from the tunnel spring once shot up to seven meters high in a fountain-like manner. The name "Ottilien Spring" probably originates from Moser's wife and daughter. Today, the spring is a popular resting place for hikers. 💡 Tip: Ideal for a break – the nearby mountain hut offers shelter and invites you to linger.
