This well - well is named after Saint Gerlachus. The marlstone well house has been here since the early 18th century, but the source itself has already been mentioned in the 13th century. In writings it is said that Gerlachus drank from this well. For centuries, the spring water and the sacred Gerlachus sands were considered beneficial for humans and livestock. Whatever the case may be, now it is wonderful to stay here in the shady spot.

At the end of the path from Valkenburg you come through an animal barrier and see the Gerlachus fountain on the right.

This well or spring is named after Saint Gerlachus. The marl stone well house dates from the early 18th century, but the source itself is many times older. In the 13th century, a well where Gerlachus drank from is already mentioned in writings. But it was probably elsewhere. For centuries, the spring water and the sacred Gerlachus sand were considered beneficial for people and livestock.
