The Hungerquelle spring is located in the "Wössingen Waldwiesen" nature reserve toward Stein. After years of drought, bubbling water emerges in torrents. The spring is a habitat, breeding ground, and refuge for many animals, especially newts and salamanders. The Hungerquelle is a natural monument and offers walkers an oasis of tranquility.

The Walzbach originates from the Hungerquelle (also Hungerbrunnen), an Artesian source that rarely pours. In the past few years, the spring poured in 2003, February 2011 and June 2013. The water emerges in gushes and air bubbles rise. On average, the source pours every seven to eight years for a few months. The source of hunger has been a natural monument since 1989.

At some point I'll make it and experience a water eruption. Until then, it's a really quiet place where you can take a break to recover.
