    If enough water flows from the natural monument Leerbachquelle, it is ideal for a little cooling off. This place is particularly popular in summer. The source is located in the valley of the Schöppinger Mountains and offers a magical backdrop, framed by green nature.

      Leerbach spring natural monument (Jannings spring)
      The Leerbach spring near Leer at the foot of the Schöppinger mountain, also called Jannings spring after an old name of a neighboring farm, is an important natural monument in the Münsterland.
      At Schöppinger Berg, on the impermeable "Osterwicker layers" of the lower campan, consisting of clay marl, there are fissured limestone sand and limestone marl rocks of the "Coesfeld layers" of the upper campan. The water penetrates the upper layers and accumulates on the trough-shaped, curved Osterwicker layers. On a spring horizon at a height of about 90 m above sea level. NHN, the water comes out of the mountain in several springs, of which the Leerbach spring is the most productive. [3] The spring pot measures eight to ten meters in diameter and has up to 14 water outlet points. The flow of the karst spring [4] is between 25 and 100 liters per second, the spring only dried up in the extremely dry summer of 1976. The spring water has a temperature between 8 and 11 ° C, which fluctuates little over the course of the year. Due to the constant conditions, a special flora and fauna has developed in the source area. The barriers around the biotope should be respected.
