The "Gustav-Adolf-Quelle" is located on the banks of the Rednitz near Weikershof. It is popularly called "Gaggerlasquelln" because of its sulfur content (also written: Gaggales, Gaggalas spring). In the immediate vicinity of the spring there is an oak tree that has been declared a natural monument.

The spring is popularly called "Gaggerlasquelln" because of its sulfur content. "Gaggerla" is Franconian for eggs, so it smells like rotten eggs.

Hiking

The drilling was carried out in the years 1901 to 1903 parallel to the exploration at the city limits for the development of coal and potash salts. The 726.9 m deep well was originally named "Böhner-Quelle" after its owner. The spring water mixes from two mineral water inflows of different depths. In addition, after the addition of more carbonic acid, the water was offered commercially as the "Gustav Adolf spring". The health value was rated very high. It was possible to drink the medicinal water on site, but no spa was built.
