Dam

A lovely spot to linger.

According to legend, Saint Ulrich, Bishop of Augsburg from 923 to 973, plunged his crosier into the earth here on his way from Bishop of Strasbourg to Abbot of Schuttern Monastery in the summer heat, causing this spring to spring forth. The spring water was said to have healing properties for various children's illnesses and eye diseases. Today, only the well room remains. In 1981, the well room was restored to a clean condition and fitted with a gate. The memorial stone depicts a relief of Saint Ulrich plunging his crosier into the earth and the bubbling spring.

You should really stop here, both at the weir and at the mouth of the Elz.

The former faschinat is now a defensive structure and probably a ford at low water.

The Elzwehr is currently being rebuilt because of the Rhine polder near Wittenweier.

Numerous water points and a good part of the journey in the woods, ideal in hot weather
