Herzogsbrunnen
Highlight • Natural Monument
"The area around Lauterburg Castle was once a favorite hunting ground of the Dukes of Coburg. It was a separate forestry district (see Taimbach Forester's House) and had its own forester. For all those involved in a hunt, the spring was a popular meeting place and resting place. So, it was only natural to name it "Herzogsbrunnen" (Duke's Fountain) when, in 1907, nature and hiking enthusiasts had it dug and the fountain created.
The plaque on the Herzogsbrunnen bears the following inscription: "What you sought when you crossed the threshold of your home, here you will find it: the pure air, a drink from the cool spring – and deep rest in the quiet peace of the forest."
