St. Mary's Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Marienquelle, inaugurated in 1841, is a nice resting place with a refuge on the Goethe hiking trail. About 100 meters further, "seating areas" were created, which offer great views.

Especially when you walk down the mountain, you should be a little more careful. The source is easy to miss from this direction. 😉
