    Tips

    Hiking

    The source has been greatly altered by earth fillings and the state water supply lines that run here. After the snow melts and when there is a lot of precipitation, several springs arise, which often dry up quickly.
    This is typical of "Hungerwell". They arise in the karst (craggy, water-permeable limestone mountains) and only occasionally carry water.
    They are called hunger wells because wet years used to be years of hunger. (oberkochen.de)

    Hiking

    The Hungerbrunnen in Wolfertstal is 525 m above sea level. NHN the origin of the Gutenbach. After the snow melts and heavy rain, the water gushes from numerous springs in the middle of the meadow (wiki)
