    Hiking

    geologically very interesting place. The sinkhole source is about 25 m deep. The second is nearby. The Melchior fountain.

    The Kainsprung pours approx. 100 liters of spring water per second, has a diameter of approx. 30 meters and a depth of 12 meters.
    The Kainsprung was mentioned in a document as early as 1367. The source is probably much older. A memorial stone at the karst spring reminds of the village “Kogen”, which was located here from 970 to 1480. (Source Wikipedia)

    In the immediate vicinity, a stone from the local history society points to the former village site of Kogen.
