The Geldbrunnen is a natural monument that recalls the old stories surrounding the search for gold and treasures in the Fichtelgebirge. According to legend, the "Venetians" once searched for valuable treasures here. Was gold actually found here? In any case, nothing of a treasure can be seen today.
