Small village - big fountain! And he even made it into the Guinness Book of Records. With 11,108 hand-painted Easter eggs collected by the Heimatverein, painted and hung at the well. This is tradition in Bieberbach: It always starts about three weeks before Easter - during this time there is a state of emergency in the small town in the Franconian Switzerland.

The largest Easter fountain in the world is in Bieberach. With exactly 11,108 lovingly hand-painted eggs, he made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2000. The interest of visitors is correspondingly high: on the days around Easter there are crowds of people in the village, and onlookers are taken to the fountain in buses. Not only is there something to see there, there is also food and drink provided.

One coach after another arrives here to bring visitors (at least on weekends). But it's still going quite well.

There is a drinks stand and a food stand with bratwurst rolls etc. at really fair prices.
Seating is available.
