Hiking

The Huguenot fountain created in 1706 by the Bayreuth court sculptor Elias Räntz shows a cone-shaped rocky mountain in an oval fountain basin (29 × 19.5 m), which is divided into three levels.

The cartouches pointing to the four cardinal points contained texts praising the margrave, which have since disappeared. An opening in the rock cone allows a view of the Margrave's equestrian statue.
