the source is staged with sculptures by an artist - well done.

I was there alone - when I arrived, the municipal worker had just driven away with the lawnmower.

With the high grass that was still there in some places, I would not have been able to discover the sculptures.

I visited the source on August 11, 2022. The spring seemed to have dried up. The nice neighbor, whose garden borders on the headwaters, explained to me that most of the water runs underground through the limestone and only comes to the surface further down. The Ill also disappears briefly underground after Winkel and reappears before Ligsdorf.
