Quellgebiet der Wieslauter

The Wieslauter source area spans 2,399 hectares of natural beech and oak forests with steep slopes and sandstone rock formations.

The protected area was established in 2007 as the largest core zone among 23 designated sections within the Palatinate Forest Nature Park.

The forest contains three nature reserves: Wüsttal at 46.3 hectares, Wartenberg at 7.7 hectares, and Pfaffenberg at 76 hectares.

Visitors can access the spring only through marked paths due to natural hazards and strict protection regulations in the biosphere reserve.

The area features multiple spring types, including layer springs, plunge springs, and seepage springs that form numerous source streams.
