    Hiking

    Right next to the bank is a work of art by UMoSSA - Urwelt Mosaic Sculpture Path Swabian Alb ... one of the many stone mosaic sculptures that are set up within a radius of several kilometers. Here is the totem.

    The hunger well near Heldenfingen is a periodic karst spring on the Swabian East Alb, southeast of Gerstetten on the border between the Heidenheim district and the Alb-Danube district. The course of the mostly dry Hungerbrunnenbach begins here.
    Because of its irregular pouring, it was previously believed that the well would herald bad harvests, famine, rising prices or the danger of war as a warning sign.

    There is also a nice bench right by the source to rest on.

    Anyone who sits on the bench has a direct view of the Hungertall fountain
