Every step is worth it and so are the heavy legs. Great location and photo opportunity 🤙

The name of the artichoke basin that lies in front of the Vexierwassergrotte derives from the tufa structure in its middle, which is supposed to represent an artichoke fruit.
During the water games, an approx. 10 m high central fountain rises from its center, which is surrounded by approx. 8 m high side fountains.
