    The Love Spring unfortunately dried up in 2005, but has been powered by tap water since 2011. During the summer months, the attractive metal cage is kept open during the day. Directly opposite is the restaurant of the same name.

    Restaurant opening hours:
    Sunday to Thursday: 12 noon to 9:30 p.m.
    Friday and Saturday: 12 noon to 10 p.m.

        Even old maps show a spring next to the path from the lock to Rüdersdorf, the water from which trickled over the path into the mill pond. In the 1880s, the Woltersdorfer Beautification Association leaned a sandstone wall against the mountain and added a spring pipe, which let the water splash into a basin. August Hannemann wrote the text, which can be read on an iron plaque at the source from 1886, giving it its name:

        From Märk`s sand I rise brightly
        As a refreshment drink and a source of love.
        Built by the Beautification Society in 1886

        Later, side wings with sandstone benches were added. These benches, the basin and the plaque with the inscription were replaced with red Swedish granite in 1928. The spring delivered about 120 cbm of water at a temperature of 5 °C in 24 hours.

        The source of love received a makeover in October 1992. Lime deposits were removed from the granite slab, and the carved motto received new gold lettering. The water gushed from the spring. The quality tests carried out by the beautification association at regular intervals confirmed the best drinking water quality.

        The source dried up in 2005. The cost-intensive test drillings by a well construction company were unfortunately unsuccessful. That is why the Woltersdorfer Beautification Association decided in March 2008 to set up a plaque at the love source, which ended with the following wording:

        ...We look at our beloved source and unfortunately have to say:
        "There was once....."

        Three citizens of Woltersdorf (Ms. Elssner, Mr. Felte and Dr. Haller) took the initiative and, with a great deal of organizational skill and technical skills, had a drinking water supplying water connection made, which was put into operation on 10/15/2011.
        The people of Woltersdorf are satisfied with the solution they found and if you just believe in it while drinking, then normal drinking water on “Easter morning” will unfold the same mysterious effect as was said of the real “spring of love”, which unfortunately dried up.
