Pulsnitz Spring (Public Outflow Pond)

If you want to visit the Pulsnitz spring, you have to travel to Upper Lusatia. More precisely, in the northwestern Lusatian highlands, in the community of Ohorn with around 2400 inhabitants near the city of Pulsnitz. A street name reveals where it is going: "Am Pulsnitzquell".

The small trickle that flows inconspicuously from a concrete pipe into a pond is the Pulsnitz. Even if a sign next to the concrete pipe speaks of the Pulsnitz spring, the actual spring is hidden further above - it is in the basement of a residential building. From the outside, only a hand pump indicates a possible well, otherwise there is no indication of the source in the basement. A pipeline goes underground from the house to the pond, where the Pulsnitz comes to the public for the first time.

The Pulsnitz spring is a bit inconspicuous
