Hiking

The market fountain was built in 1895 and is located on the market square in the southern Hessian town of Bensheim. At that time it served as a municipal water point and drinking trough for the horses. A figure of Saint George can be seen at the top. This is the town and church patron of Bensheim. Furthermore, there are children's figures at the fountain as representatives for the four seasons. The Roman mountain road Strata montana used to run in a north-south direction near this water point
