At the Retzberghütte you can rest well. There are always delicious daily specials and changing beers. Especially recommended is the "Pfälzer Burger" or for the big hunger of the "Giant Palatine Burger".

Pfaffenbrunnen Spring and Cascade

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the north slope of the Letzberg, which is called Pfaffenberg, you will find the highest fountain in the city at 387 meters. The water flowing from the source flows down into the Bremertal via a cascade redesigned in the 80s from 57 mighty red sandstone boulders. From 1895 to 1935, the well supplied the Bremerhof with drinking water via a water pipe before it was then connected to the city's pipe network. An open shelter with a rustic seating area invites you to linger at the Pfaffenbrunnen - framed by giant larch, beech, ash, silver maple and the leather pod. From there, there is also a panoramic path around the north slope of the Pfaffenberg, which offers wonderful views of the city of Kaiserslautern and the Palatinate Highlands

Despite several changes of management in recent years, they haven't found anyone here who can cook. Drinks are great and idyllic. But several attempts to eat have failed. The quality is poor and the prices are completely exorbitant. One plus point are the beers here – a great and constantly changing selection.

The hut is still there, let's go, the Palatinate food is a poem and super friendly service on the idyllic lake shore.

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source (whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain'): To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain: "There's certainly a lot of beauty in it, on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can leave it alone." (H.Erhardt)
