Not far from Hohenbourg Castle, near the German-French border, lies the Maiden's Fountain, which bears witness to a tragic story: For a long time, the lords of Hohenbourg and Wegelnburg were enemies. And as fate would have it, the squire Robert von Wegehiburg fell in love with Edwige, daughter of the lord of Hohenbourg. She often lingered at the abundant spring between the two castles. One day, Robert went hunting. He chased a wild boar that was heading towards the spring where Edwige was. In the heat of the moment, the boar leaped at Edwige, but Robert, a skilled hunter, managed to catch it just in time, and with this act, he won his beloved's heart. The two often spent time secretly at this spring between the feuding castles. But one day, the lord of Hohenbourg surprised his daughter in the arms of his arch-enemy's son. In a blind rage, he stabbed Robert to death before Edwige's eyes. She collapsed with grief and died on the spot, instantly following her lover into the realm of the dead. Since that terrible day, two forget-me-not bushes have grown at this spring, which is now known as the Maiden's Fountain. It is not uncommon to see a white shadow above the Maiden's Fountain at dusk: this is the ghost of Edwige, descending from the cellars of Hohenbourg Castle to visit the place of her love. There she sings mournful words and sheds tears into the stream before being carried away by the wind.

A lovely spot for a short rest at the junction of several hiking trails. It offers a beautiful view of the village in the valley and the wooded mountain peaks.

Beautiful view from a clearing. A junction of many hiking trails that invites you to take a short rest.

The German-French Castle Trail leads beneath the impressive Wolf Rock... from below, the enormous rock face looks gigantic...

Nowadays it is a particularly beautiful place, with a great view of Gebüg (a district of Schönau) and Fischbach with the district of Unterpetersbächlerhof. On May 13, 1940, however, during World War II, a cruel battle took place on Maimont - both on the main summit and on the secondary summit (= site of today's Peace Cross) - in which numerous French and German soldiers lost their lives. The German side had started the (surprise) attack. The description of these events can be found in the village chronicle of Petersbächel: https://www.petersbaechel.de/petersbaechel.html

Crossroads at a mountain saddle: From the new, long rest bench you have a beautiful view down to the small Alsatian village of Wengelsbach (hamlet of Niedersteinbach).
