    Tips

    The sign at the roadside refers to the "Grützenbrunnen". After a few steps up the slope, you just have to follow the small watercourse, you come to the source! Water gushes out of the stones on the slope, the Grützenbrunnen. On the board you can learn that as part of the LIFE-Nature project to protect the tufa springs in the Franconian Jura, the old drinking water collection system was removed and the spring area redesigned. With a lot of effort, the habitat for special spring inhabitants (e.g. fire salamanders) was restored. The source is alive! Very nice.

      The water springs slightly above the slope and crosses the hiking trail
