    The Friesenquelle is one of the stronger karst springs with a considerable reliable discharge of 400 L / sec (compare this with Stempfermühlquelle in Wiesenttal with 600 L / sec = the strongest spring in Franconian Switzerland).
    That's about 150 bathtub fillings in one minute! When looking at the quiet spring pot hardly imaginable, you can only see the current when it runs off.
    I think that in the past this spring ensured the water supply for the tower hill and Reuth on the heights and made settlement possible in the first place.

      Nice to see how the water comes from the earth.

        This spring can be found right next to the road.
        The hiking trail leads past it a little above
