The hollow oak near Eberstal, also known as the "Holy Tree," is located about 800 meters south of Eberstal and near the road to Diebach. This centuries-old pedunculate oak, with a trunk circumference of approximately 5 meters, forms a special place of worship in nature. Its hollow trunk is partially open, and inside stands a lovingly decorated Madonna figure, surrounded by flowers, candles, a prayer bowl, and a donation box. Several benches in front of the oak invite visitors to linger.

The springs formed the basis for Bad Mergentheim as a spa town and international health resort. The decisive event was the discovery of salty water by a shepherd and his sheep in 1826.

Three of the four springs, Albertquelle, Karlsquelle and Wilhelmsquelle, are drinking springs based on their mineral composition, whereas the Paulsquelle, which is unsuitable for drinking, is a bathing spring.
