The source is located seven kilometers southeast of Kaiserslautern , north of the state road 504 on Dammberg at an altitude of 364  m above sea level. NHN . The spring is placed in a well.

Natural allocation

The dam fountain belongs to the Palatinate Forest natural area , which is classified as a third-order Greater Region in the systematics of the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany published by Emil Meynen and Josef Schmithüsen and its subsequent publications . If you look at the internal structure of the natural area , the dam well belongs to the Middle Palatinate Forest.

In summary, the natural spatial allocation of the dam well follows the following system:

  • Greater region 1st order: Layer level land on both sides of the Upper Rhine Rift
  • Greater region 2nd order: Palatinate-Saarland layer level land
  • Greater region 3rd order: Palatinate Forest
  • 4th order region (main unit): Middle Palatinate Forest
  • 5th order region: unknown

Traffic and walking

To the south, state road 504 runs from west to east through the Kleine Dammtal. To the north of the road, the hiking trail of the Palatinate Forest Association “white-red” leads directly past a marked boulder . The best way to get to the fountain is via the “Hungerbrunnen” car park, about one kilometer to the northwest. An approach from the country road via a forestry road southwest ( 324.7  m above sea  level ) is difficult.
