    Hiking

    At this point you are at the source of the small Alfbach, which as a forest brook lays the foundation for a unique little biotope. The rare black stork finds a refuge here.
    The special thing about this spring is that you can see how it gently gushes out of the underground.

    Hiking

    At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
    To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
    "There is certainly much beauty in
    on the element, the wet.
    Because you can drink the water.
    But you can - also leave it."
    (H.Erhardt)
