    The Erlach settlement lies between the deer pond and the Hornauer Weiher. The second of the three Altmühl springs is located a little east of it, on the site of a secluded homestead.

      Is a bit off the track. But it is the only one of the three Altmühlquellen, where one also sees how it springs from the ground.

        Seen from above, this is the 2nd of the 3 Altmühl springs, all of which claim to be the REAL source.
        However, there is an official stipulation that the actual source or origin of the Altmühl is the Hornauer Weiher.
        This should end the eternal quarrel....but of course it didn't work😊
        But that doesn't matter to us cyclists/hikers, we can still see everything.
        All 3 places are quite beautiful and worth seeing, so go there/hike!

          Altmühlquelle at a farm. Well signposted, about 150m from the main road.

            Visiting this source - Apparently, the landowner wants to give his OK to visit. ??

              Idyllic spring, which is also considered the origin of the Altmühl (unofficial)

                That would be that of the 3 places of origin, which presents itself as a bordered source.

                  Through the farm - the path has been lovingly made accessible.
