シュワレンベルガーヴァルトの天然記念物・トップ16

Maybe not beautiful because of the murky water, but ecologically valuable

The spring rises at the foot of a former hillside moor (Mörth), which is the reason for the creation of this fairytale-like place and the touching legend. "Born" comes from Middle High German and means "source, fountain, fresh water".

At the foot of the high Mörth in Elbrinxen is a spring: the "Rosenborn". According to old tradition, small children come from the Rosenborn in Elbrinxen and are not brought by the stork. A newlywed couple therefore sprinkled sugar on the "Blankenstein" so that their child wish would come true... When parents took their children for a walk there, they stopped in awe to listen to the laughter and cries of the babies in the Rosenborn.

The knowledge of the old tales about the source and the idea for this place was implemented by a member of the stork association with the help of volunteers. I also have very fond memories of a forest service in this place, followed by refreshments. But as always, there are people who don't behave well. Therefore, unfortunately, the putte is no longer the first, original putte.

A highlight when the water lilies bloom

There is so much to discover on the Mörth and so many opportunities to hike

Gorgeous splashing of the source

The water lily pond is the oldest artificially created pond in "Das Mörth". It used to be a clay pit. It has beautiful water lilies and can be walked around once.
