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)

Until now, I had completely overlooked a small fountain there (because the hut and the food there are just so great): The small Wolfsbrunnen (right next to the benches of the hut) has an old name stone and 3 small fountain basins from which the water flows from top to bottom - into the Breitenbach.

Fountain southwest of the Bremerhof. The water, if it were there, would flow down the valley over 57 boulders.
