Tips

Hiking

The Melmquelle is a natural source, which even in long drought, such as 2018, still donates water. It springs from the Rhätsandstein. The brook feeds a long pond chain and flows over Jungenhofen to Röbersdorf, where it flows into the kingdom of Ebrach.

A sign on the rotten tree opposite indicates that no drinking water should flow here.
