The Ducksteinquelle as a destination has been around since the early 1900s. The water of the spring runs first through a walled basin, then under the way through another basin and then in cascades in the direction of Bölle. Over the years tufa has formed here, which is why the area is under protection. You will find a refuge, a brick barbecue, tables and benches that invite to a rest.

The Ducksteinquelle lies in a special biotope. Kalkhaltiges spring water flows over moss u. Plant remains downhill. It evaporates water. Smallest lime particles settle on mosses and plant remains and harden. This creates a porous rock, "tuff".
In the course of time, tuff has become the name "Duckstein".
It constantly bubbled 8 liters of water per second. Because of the above properties, the lime source and its discharge area is designated as a natural monument.
It is a nice place where it invites you to linger and can be rented for free but with registration if required.
