The other day, I made a poor decision (one of many) and decided to take a short cut through the woods to find another way to the university. I was on my street bike, which wasn't working so well in the rocky and woody trails of the Marburg Forest. I was about an hour into the forest when I found myself tired, wet from the drizzle and mud, and VERY thirsty. I hadn't taken any water with me, since I thought this would be only a 20 minute 'shortcut'.
Frustrated with my bad judgement, I was just wishing that if I had a little water, life would be a lot easier at the moment. About 5 minutes later I walk into Viola's Ruh (Ruh translated as rest), as seen in the picture. Imagine my surprise at the sudden wish coming true. The water tasted cold and crystal clear, and found myself wondering, how is this in the middle of the forest, on a trail that is hardly ever used.
My colleague tells me that Ruh does translate into rest, but the meaning is more, like Rest in Peace. Viola's Ruh just might be a grave sight in the middle of the forest, that now has a natural spring for lost travelers like me. Interesting huh? The adventures of Mo continue.
