Hiking

The Schindersbrunnen is a natural monument in the Balmenflur area, idyllic near the village of Schirradorf (municipality of Wonsees). It is a karst spring, meaning it does not flow year-round, but only seasonally or after heavy rainfall. The spring and the surrounding Balmen (rock outcrops) are a protected natural highlight of the region.

Hiking

The Schindersbrunnen located at the Balmen in the Schwalbachtal does not have water in every season, probably also a karst well.

Even now, after long periods of rain, the well has no water.
