Reifenstein Spring and Forest Cabins

Highlight • Natural

paved field and forest paths, sometimes very bumpy.
From the leash to the unstrut. Can be installed well as a section from the Leineradweg to the cannon railway. There is no continuous path directly along the railway.

Donkey Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The forester's house in Geney used to have no water supply of its own. Therefore the foresters used this source for their supplies. The water was transported on a cart pulled by a donkey. Hence the name "Eselsquelle".
