Darscheider Drees

The Drascheider Drees is one of the many Dreese in the Vulkaneifel. The high iron content is clearly visible. The water tastes like rust. Anyone who likes it. ;)

This point does not mark Darscheid as a place, but actually the Darscheider Drees.
The Darscheider Drees, the iron-rich sour wine located in the middle of the forest in the immediate vicinity of the Lehbach, has been bubbling out of a newly built fountain since 2014.

The Darscheider Drees, which bubbles away in the forest on the outskirts of town, is characterized by its particularly high iron concentration of 46 mg/liter. It contains more iron than all other springs in the Vulkaneifel. This only works because the rising water travels through so many iron-containing rock layers and thus dissolves the iron. The villagers already knew this in the past, because the soursop was caught for the first time in 1870. In 2013, the spring was moved around 100 meters to its current location and redesigned.
Enjoy the slightly mineralized, 8 degree cold water when you are in Darscheid.

The small town of Darscheid near Daun was first mentioned in documents in the 14th century. More about the local history on the Darscheid homepage (darscheid.de/das-dorf/stadtinformation/).
The very modern Church of the Holy Cross from 1969 is visible from afar.
The NEZ Nature Experience Center belongs to Darscheid.
The really great path of biodiversity starts at the passenger parking lot.
