Hiking
On the southern edge of the Feckinger Valley, around 20 smaller springs with discharges of up to 5 l/s emerge. The spring water, which has a special feature in some cases and a distinct smell of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), comes from the karstified Malm beneath the Molasse Basin. The springs trace a fault zone where the Malm limestone plateau has broken up and which offers good transport routes for the karst water. Characteristic white bacterial lawns line the watercourses of the "sulphur waters". Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU).
