Mountain biking

Here you can take a short break and fill your bottle. The water bubbles from the Burggaillenreuther spring and can be drunk without hesitation.

Small watercourse directly from the source. Wonderfully clear, cold water. Ideal for refilling the bottle.

Hiking

In the past, the residents of the high-altitude town of Burggaillenreuth, which was naturally water-poor, like many other villages on the plateaus of the Franconian Jura, had to carry the water drawn here up the entire mountain in buckets and buttes. In 1877, Baron von Horneck had this hydraulic water system, also known as the ram, built, along with a water pipe, so that the people of Burggaillenreuth could obtain drinking water with less effort.
