Hiking

In the back Zieglertal springs behind the Wieslauterhof (private) the Wieslauter. The spring is surrounded by sandstones, the spring water comes from an embankment of the forest path. Immediately, the water flows into a fish pond and on through the Zieglertal to Hinterweidentahl and on to Alsace. The Knight Stone No. 230, which is maintained by the PWV, stands on the enclosed source.

Nice place. It is strange that only a little water flows from the “source” into the stream. The actual source doesn't seem to be (anymore) to me.

without the knight's stone I would not recognize the place as a source, good that it is there ...
