This is a great place to take a break; there are seats in front of the hut or in the hut next door, but only a small natural table is available.

The Konik (from Polish: little horse, small horse) is a pony breed from Central and Eastern Europe. These ponies are very robust and are used in agriculture as well as in the conservation of numerous nature reserves, such as Geltinger Birk (Baltic Sea), Schmidtenhöhe (Koblenz), Brönnhof near Schweinfurt, the Lower Lusatian post-mining landscape of Schlabendorf North, and in the Polish Białowieża National Park, where they are kept in extensive farming practices. The largest population lives in Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands under almost wild conditions. The Konik's movements are energetic and tireless in all gaits. The Konik has a limited jumping ability and is characterized by its high resilience. Koniks are considered willing, calm, and undemanding. The breed is known for its longevity. Koniks are a very people-friendly breed and are not shy, even when raised in the wild.[2] Foals, in particular, often maintain contact with people. Konik horses behave dominantly towards other, even larger, breeds within a herd. (Wikipedia)

What Erich writes, that this is the Lauerbach spring, is incorrect. The spring is located in the Oberlauringen/Stadtlauringen area. There, the spring stream emerges and is considered the source of the Lauer. It is locally known as "Storchenbrünnle" (Stork Spring).

The Marienbach stream originates on the western edge of the Schweinfurt Rhön (Hesselbach Forest), about 700 meters north of Hambach (municipality of Dittelbrunn). The Marienbach spring is located precisely on the southwestern edge of the "Bauholz" forest area. Another spring, which only carries water intermittently, begins about 1.5 kilometers northeast of this source near Holzhausen. (KI)
