Helenenquelle

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Helenenquelle (not to be confused with the Helenenquelle near Bad Wildungen) pours refreshing water.
Above is a stone with an inscription.
Some benches are at the source, but they are not that inviting 😬.

Eis Café Fantuz

Highlight • Cafe

Next door is a bakery for those who are really hungry. Anyone who is against the expansion of the A 49 should linger here longer.

Around 1600, an iron forge was built here to use the minerals available in the mountains. More details are on the notice board.

The Schönstein castle ruins are a bit overgrown, but still a worthwhile detour. The ruins are romantic.
