⛲ Stone Drinking Fountain in the Forest – Preußensteig Trail Located in the shady forest, this old stone drinking fountain surprises – a quiet relic of times gone by. Covered in moss, cool, and surrounded by nature, it invites you to rest. Whether it still holds water is a matter of luck – but the sight alone is worth a short break. Tip: Ideal for a quiet photo and a short breather under beech and oak trees.

A very special experience awaits here: The small Ulmet train station is the starting point of the trolley route – and the lovingly planted wagon wheel itself brings color and charm to this place. The railway line, flowers, and seating – perfect for a little breather. 👣 Tip: If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, take a seat here, watch the trolleys, or simply enjoy a moment in the sun. The blend of nostalgia and nature is unique.

📍 Near Erdesbach They sit there in the middle of the trail – a wooden man and a woman, quietly sitting side by side on a bench. They gaze out over the landscape as if keeping hikers company. A lovingly carved detail that surprises and invites a smile. 💡 Tip: Be sure to take a quick seat – a photo with the two of them is almost a must. And if you like, you can invent a little story to go with it.
