Fountain – source of water and legends: The Lanzenbrunner Weiher, idyllically located in the Otterberg Forest, is one of the last existing fish ponds of the Otterberg Cistercian monastery. These were created in the Middle Ages by the monks to breed food fish as a substitute for the extensive renunciation of meat. But what does that have to do with lances? Source: The Rhine Palatinate
