The hydrogeological background of this comparatively strong spring with its impressive spring pot is very interesting: The groundwater flowing down from the Harz slopes, including seepage water from the rivers Oder and Sieber to the north, rushes at high speed at a depth of around 50 meters through an underground karst cave system. In the source area of the Rhume, with great pressure on a wall, it hits clay-containing and thus water-impermeable rock. This forms an underground dam, which lets the spring water of the Rhume shoot up to the surface. The more or less bluish coloration of the water, depending on the incidence of light, is caused by light scattering of small lime particles, which the water absorbs on its way through the rock layers.

A mystical place, everywhere it bubbles and the color of the water is something very special.

At any time of year, it is an interesting spectacle when the water seemingly effortlessly bubbles out of the edges of the spring. The only other spring comparable in size and beauty is the Blautopf in Blaubeuren.
Incidentally, the Rhumequelle shares the turquoise blue color with it. The color is due to the calcareous rock in the subsoil.
