This is the main European watershed, which separates the inflows to the open Atlantic, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea from those to the Mediterranean and Black Sea. It runs from Gibraltar to Moscow. Source: Wikipedia

The path winds through a beautiful beech forest up to the Buchberg (591 meters). Keep your eyes open for the rock towers of the Teufelskeller, which are hidden in the forest just before the summit.

The green of the water plants gives the small pond a nice sight.
