In the valley of the Perlenbach, in the district of Grünauermühle, stands the fountain house of the Sophia spring, a mineral well, whose water was bottled and sold for a long time. In recent years, the operation is suspended, but a rehabilitation of the source is planned. The fountain house has an octagonal floor plan with a granite base and a curved tin roof.
