It doesn't get any fresher than this. The Kneipp facility is located just beyond the Seebach spring.

The story behind the Goose Fountain is as follows: As recently as the beginning of the 20th century, communal goose-herding existed in some Rhenish-Hessian towns, including Bechtolsheim. The shepherd would go from farm to farm, blowing the horn to gather the geese, sometimes several hundred of them, which he would lead out of the village into the fields and meadows to graze. In the evening, they would return. I think it's great that the knowledge of this tradition isn't lost... so this fountain is something like a "Rhenish-Hessian knight's stone"!
