The Amseldell near Trippstadt is about 360 meters above sea level west of the Karlstal Gorge. In the middle of the 19th century, the Amseldell was set up by the ironworks owner Freiherr Carl Friedrich von Gienanth (1818-1890). It mainly served the workers in the ironworks, but also the local population and royal visitors resided there several times. Today, little remains of the former park-like condition of the popular excursion destination. The Amseldell is the sixth station on the Eisenhüttenweg.

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)

The Amseldell was designed as a place for various leisure activities. Today it is in dire need of restoration. Recognizable remains of a maze made of hedges, a bowling alley, a shooting range and a pavilion are still preserved
