A very nice place to rest.

The Dolphin Fountain (also known as the Meadow Fountain) on the Kleiner Gleichberg near Römhild is a historic, restored spring located on the western slope near the Celtic hillfort. It was inaugurated around 1903, renovated in 2013, and is a popular rest stop along the mountain's hiking trails. It lies on the western slope of the 641-meter-high Kleiner Gleichberg, below the hillfort. The fountain was restored and rebuilt after a long period of disrepair. It is considered a gem by nature lovers. It is the source of the Wiesleinbach stream. Celtic settlement remains and dry stone walls are located nearby. The fountain exemplifies the dedication of the Friends of Steinsburg Association to the upkeep of the site.

Fountain with seating, pure nature.

The first sandstone spring casing from the 1940s was redesigned in 1973 and acquired its current representative appearance in 1985. A bronze plaque by Erich Husemann from Trappstadt has commemorated the importance of the Franconian Saale since 1987. The spring stream flows southwest through Alsleben, where it joins the Fleusengraben, and joins the left source stream north of Bad Königshofen-Untereßfeld.

The Franconian Saale originates in the Grabfeld near the Haßberge Mountains, east and southeast of Bad Königshofen, respectively, from two roughly equal, 3.9 km long source streams: Its right and northern source streams originate from the Saalbrunnen (not to be confused with the Saalbrunnen, also located in Franconia), approximately 1.7 kilometers east of Alsleben, a district of Trappstadt. The spring is located in an open field, less than 500 meters from the Thuringian border, just off the NES 45 district road, which leads to Gompertshausen. The young Franconian Saale rises there at 313 meters above sea level, below the Kapellenberg (390 meters above sea level). Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A4nkische_Saale

Probably a former guardhouse.

Be careful at the edge!!!

The St. Ursula Natural Cemetery was established in April 2014 by the municipality of Trappstadt in the Alsleben district. The natural cemetery is located in a wooded area directly adjacent to the old pilgrimage church of St. Ursula near Alsleben. A forest cemetery is a very special form of forest use and requires forestry expertise. The municipality was therefore supported in its development and establishment by the Franconian Rhön and Grabfeld Forestry Association. But first, the question is: why build another natural cemetery at all? One impetus was to create the opportunity for the citizens of the Rhön-Grabfeld district to find their final resting place in a natural cemetery. Another reason was to develop a unique concept that fully meets the requirements of the Protestant Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Source: https://naturfriedhof-sankt-ursula.de/der-naturfriedhof
