      The Hirschteich is considered to be one of the three Altmühl sources. However, since this source dries up again and again in dry periods, it is considered unlikely. Since 1904, the Hornauer Weiher has been officially designated as the Altmühl source.

        This area around the forest pond proclaims itself to be the actual source of the Altmühl. But of course there are more who say that.
        Around 1904 it was officially determined that the Hornau pond should be the actual source or the origin of the Altmühl, so that the eternal argument ended.
        We should be fine, we can go to all 3 and make our own judgment)
