⛲ Stone Drinking Fountain in the Forest – Preußensteig Trail Located in the shady forest, this old stone drinking fountain surprises – a quiet relic of times gone by. Covered in moss, cool, and surrounded by nature, it invites you to rest. Whether it still holds water is a matter of luck – but the sight alone is worth a short break. Tip: Ideal for a quiet photo and a short breather under beech and oak trees.
