If open, it is worth taking a detour before the steep climb up the Gräfenstein.

In this refuge you can find shelter when it rains or take a break on the benches in front of the refuge. In front of the refuge you will also find the beautiful Pfaffenbrunnen fountain.

The forester's house is located in the Annweiler community forest, with a history dating back to 1304. Today it is a popular tourist destination with its own circular trails. I have great respect for the current landlady, who has turned the property into a real gem! It is the only place to stop for refreshments in the area, but emphasis is still placed on a creative range of dishes at reasonable prices. But don't worry: there is also currywurst and other classic dishes. You can even drive here. However, it is particularly beautiful if you have explored the place on foot.

The wooden Mercedes truck looks really good on the meadow. Large, solid wooden bench sets invite you to linger.

It is particularly idyllic here in the summer in the beautiful beer garden! Also: very tasty, small menu (also for vegetarians)!

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source (whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain'): To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain: "There's certainly a lot of beauty in it, on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can leave it alone." (H.Erhardt)
