The mistletoe stream rises here

Unfortunately a sad place: A "spring" without water, an example of the desertification of the Weinviertel through a combination of overexploitation of the landscape and climate change. Instead, esoteric nonsense bubbles up and there is a "work of art" made of metal blocks that is distracting instead of fitting harmoniously into the place.

Today, intensive use tends to squeeze the water into narrow, deepened channels already in the spring area – like the mistletoe creek bed. Some Frättingsdorfer still remember the cup that was attached to a string at the spring to invite people to drink. In the meantime, no water is visible in the Mistelbach at the place of the Mistelstein. At around 3 m below the surface, the source area is deeper than in previous years. The small stream begins a little below. Drainage and stream regulation lowered the water level in the ground. A dry microclimate was promoted by rapid water drainage in the regulated stream and the lack of water reservoirs such as meadows. Intensive farming above the mistletoe source without permanent ground cover caused the soil to shift and thus be deposited in the source area.
