Beverage Spring

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice place to linger. Particularly great: the "Getränke-Brünnele", a fountain with a cabinet structure. In this there are boxes with soda, apple juice spritzer, beer and shandy. These are permanently cooled by the well water, a natural refrigerator like the one the farmers used here to cool the milk when it still had to work without electricity. A kässle is let into the door.

February 28, 2026,Burgruine Wolva und Aussichtspunkt Elmle mit Unterstand

Hello everyone,

Today, after a leisurely breakfast, I headed to my starting point in Oberwolfach. At the trailhead, I first explored a historic visitor center in a former mine tunnel 😏. It was really great, and I was absolutely thrilled with the exhibition space.

May 28, 2022,Wolfacher Siedlerschleife (große Runde)

I had planned the new settler loop in Wolfach, which was inaugurated two weeks ago, for today.
Started in the Wolfach settlement, it went up the Rothekreuzberg and via the Schlössleweg to the Steffelsbach fountain. Shortly thereafter I reached the beautifully situated suburban mountain hut, which offers a wonderful view of Wolfach.

October 9, 2021,Wolfach - Siedlerschleife (längere Runde)

Some time ago I promised someone to run the relatively new settler loop in Wolfach. Now the time has come.

A detour to the Schlössle is also worthwhile.

September 30, 2023,Übers Burgeck zum Elmle

A nice home loop from Wolfach/Oberwolfach up to Burgeck, to Elmle and back again. Many beautiful views, rest areas and fountains lined my path.
A wonderful and recommended round.
