Kocher Spring (Source of the Schwarzer Kocher)

The karst springs on the Alb are fascinating. The best known is probably the Blautopf in Blaubeuren. But even the smaller ones, like the Kocherursprung, follow the same principle: water collects in the porous limestone and travels long distances in caves until it comes to the surface as a karst spring.
The Kocher origin is beautifully framed and invites you to take a break - and to be amazed.

The karst spring is located south of the city of Oberkochen at 499.2 m above sea level. NN on the western slopes of the valley. The source of the Kocher river flows through the Urbrenz valley in a north-easterly direction to Unterkochen, where it joins the Weißer Kocher.

It is very interesting to see how the crystal-clear water makes its way to the surface of the sky and the power with which it gushes onto the ground.
A sign explains a lot about the karst springs, which not everyone always knows.
Apart from that, it is of course also beautiful here and you can relax well.
