It was discovered in the early 1960s when the forest road was being built.
The water from the Hubertusbrunnen is regularly filled into bottles and canisters in small quantities by forest visitors. Aquarium enthusiasts, tea and coffee drinkers and even schnapps distillers in particular appreciate the soft water of the Hubertus spring with its pH value of around 5.8 (determined with a "combination electrode"). This pH value roughly corresponds to that of pollutant-free rainwater.
