At Stockborn there is an underground, more than 600-year-old brick cavern, in which the water from the surrounding springs is collected and drawn with a hand pump.

However, you won't find a fountain here, it's "only" an information sign.

The word "Born" is the historical name for a well or a spring. These sources have their origin in the volcanic activity around Amöneburg. The inner structure of the Vogelsberg consists essentially of an alternating sequence of rock units (basalt and tuff), which mainly influence the groundwater and seepage water of the region.
