    Tips

    In the Werkerbrunnen in Sauerbornbachtal the iron-containing water was sold in clay bottles as early as the 18th century.
    Small signs everywhere warn of CO2 emissions in the well system. So one should be careful when going down the stairs to the fountain.
    The well house is very well ventilated, you should be careful when you lean over the two well basins. If you look closely, you can see the CO2 escape (bubble formation).

      Covered fountain on the Sauerbornbach, which flows a few meters further into the Werkersbach. A narrow, slippery staircase leads down to the visibly iron-rich water, which has been used as medicinal water since the mid-18th century. The brick surround also dates from this period. A roof was not erected until 1930 by the Reich Labor Service (RAD), which had its camp about six kilometers further along the Wispertalsteig. Signs today warn against using the water. Seating in front, one with a table.

        The renovation of the Werkerbrunens is funded by the European Landscape Fund and co-financed by the State of Hesse
