Roman fountain
The function of the shaft in front of you is not entirely clear because there is no archaeological excavation result. Nevertheless, it can be assumed with a relatively high degree of certainty that this is a well from Roman or already Celtic times, which was used to supply water (in times of war) to the fortified castle hill. It was (and is) difficult to interpret the location of the well in the middle of the slope. A well that is not located in the center of a fortified system, i.e. on the 50m higher mountain spur, makes little sense. However, it was found that almost the entire eastern slope was built on and probably secured. On the bank you can see clear signs of wear in the rock. About 10 years ago it was found during a core drill that the well still carries water 6m deep even in very dry conditions. At a depth of 13m the drill head of the core drill broke off, so that a more precise determination of the depth was not possible. Immediately above the opening of the well, the joist hewn into the rock for a cover or similar is clearly visible. Source: Text information board
