At the foot of the mountain, there is a fountain depicting horses. This is a tribute to the memory of ancient tradition and speciality. There was a particular guild of people in the city whose task was to wash horses. They did it for the prince archbishop’s stable, where a small stream flowed at the foot of the rock and flowed into the Salzah river.

There’s nothing better than filling the vaffolino con with a good Jaegermaster.
