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.

Rock art and holy well.

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.

Outstanding site ! I was stationed @ Landstuhl during the late 1980's. Had a German/American coworker show me this site, and some others in the area. As you head north down the hill towards the B-6, you will pass through a cultivated field. On the left is a swampy area. However in the field you can still find potsherds from an ancient Celtic settlement that once was there. It still give me goosebumps when I think of the site, which honestly resembles a sacrificial altar.

Visited this site today and drank from the natural spring. The water here is incredibly pure. Nestled in the forest, a short walk from the main road, the water cascades down an imposing landscape which is dominated by a huge natural rock formation. Very peaceful. Felt energized after the visit. Highly recommended.
