infinitefinality visited on 14th Nov 1986 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Very interesting site. Just below this site one can still find potshards lying in situ in an open field. Fairly easy access from the B-9. Was not posted as historical site, was shown site by local E. Brogley.
Sacred spring which is in one of the best condition of all sacred springs in germany. Pilgrams of centuries are coming to this spring. The water healed eyestrain. There are two boulders in front of the spring. On the left stone are 3 fertility godesses engraved. On the right stone are several priests engraved. This site probably could go back to a ritual place of the stone age. Very interesting site.
