🚰 Continuous water fountain near Zollhaus – cool refreshment along the trail A real insider tip on the Aartal Cycle Path: The acidic water fountain near Zollhaus provides fresh, clear water even on hot days – directly from the tap, always available. Ideal for cyclists and hikers who want to refill their water bottles or simply take a short break. 💧 Tip: Have a cup or bottle handy – the water runs continuously, without the need to press a button. A quiet helper along the trail – and worth its weight in gold, not just in the summer heat.

The sour spring lives up to its name! It is definitely healthy, but not for everyone.

5/26/24: Unfortunately the spring is closed; the tap has been removed. The same goes for the Johannisquelle nearby. Tip: Sauerbrunnen in nearby Rückershausen. Tastes delicious!

At the former “Grube Rosit” you can see huge piles of slate rubble. Today they provide a habitat for heat-loving plants and animals.
