    Hiking

    The Käsbrunnen is a charming spring in the Swabian Alb, near Heidenheim. The name comes from the milky color of the water, which is caused by lime—basically, "cheese water"! 🧀💧

    Hiking

    The name of the Käsbrunnen comes from a "wet, greasy" spot.
    The fountain has existed in this form since 2002. There are also benches and a table here.
    The way to the Käsbrunnen from the west is easy to miss.

    Cheese Fountain (612m)

    "Cheese" refers to wet, greasy spots.

    A special feature of our Alb plateau are the two constantly flowing sources of Saumahd and Käsbrunnen in the "Osterholz".

    The flat knoll here reaches a height of 635 m and the subsoil of the White Jura is formed like a dome by aquiferous layers of clay and gravel. A layer of clay prevents further seepage into the Kars water table.

    The catchment area of the springs is only about 0.3 square kilometers and the water seeps away extremely slowly, which explains the good quality of the water.
