The Bachdatscherle Fountain was designed by sculptor W. Huber as a combination of a decorative fountain and a walk-in water feature. Surrounded by benches, it invites visitors to linger; a drinking fountain offers refreshment, especially on hot days. The fountain's name derives from a legend according to which residents near the Lautenbach stream perceive a peculiar knocking and rushing sound—the so-called "Datschern"—at certain times, especially around midnight. This phenomenon is likely related to the numerous rushing streams around Lautenbach and could explain the origin of the town's name. Additionally, the town's name is also derived from "lauter," meaning clean or pure stream. Small, bronze water spirits enliven the round, walk-in water basin.

The Zieglerhof farm produces fruit and vegetables directly from the surrounding fields, transforms them into delicious specialties, and sells them in the farm shop. It's a lovely place to linger, especially for children, who can have fun with the ponies and goats. More information can be found here: https://www.zieglerhof-lautenbach.de/.

I just let my AI co-pilot teach me something. A nice explanation, I think, that I don't want to withhold from you: "The fountain you're referring to is called the Bachdatscherle Fountain. It's located in Lautenbach in the Rench Valley and was designed by sculptor Michael W. Huber. 💧 What makes it special? - Three small bronze water spirits frolic in the walk-in pool – they beat the water with reeds, throw stones, or protect themselves with butterbur leaves. - The structure is not just a themed fountain, but also a small water feature with a drinking fountain and even a dog drinking trough. - The name "Bachdatscherle" goes back to a legend in which a mysterious "datscherling" sound can be heard at night in the stream – a tribute to the rushing water around Lautenbach. A place to linger, marvel, and smile – in keeping with the playful Black Forest charm." (...and almost a hint of spa garden atmosphere, especially with the large hotel in the background; that's me again)
