The spring outlet is popularly known as the French well. According to tradition, French people who exchanged water for food were stored during a drought in the 17th or 18th century. The source discharge is about two liters per second, below the Franzosenbrunnen the stone channel grows due to the lime separation.

This geotope is really a highlight that has to be seen. A prerequisite is of course a careful handling of this natural spectacle. Do not touch!

A very beautiful stone channel, which has worked its way up to an impressive size due to the limescale deposits.
