    Ughür fountain, Berschis
    Natural glacier mill in Berschis
    A special feature of St. Georgenberg in Berschis is the Ughür fountain.
    The Ughürig fountain is a stately natural glacier mill with a diameter of several meters. It is said that the Romans carved the almost round "fountain", which is always filled with water, into the rock. It is documented that they used it as a fresh water reservoir, although it later lost importance.
