Beautiful, narrow, steep path... but a lot of trees have been cut down there recently, so the view is a little sad

January 13, 2025, Lickbrunnen Waterfall

A look up to the place where the small stream comes from proves that it is the overflow of a well, the Lickbrunnen. It is fed by a spring that rises further up. The nuns of the monastery used the water to irrigate their gardens, later the inn (now the "King of Prussia") and from 1925 the Frauenalb water cooperative used it as drinking water.
