    Hiking

    The deep well is still considered a technical masterpiece to this day. The 92m deep shaft was dug in just six years. Until November 1902, the deep well was the only drinking water supply. The beautiful and well-preserved fountain house can be viewed by appointment, it is locked for security.

    It is a good 100.15m deep. This is remarkable and, as far as I know, unique in Germany.
