Super beautiful watercourse in Born by the church. A fish and an otter have been placed by the watercourse. The best thing is that you can touch the otter and it doesn't smell at all.

The historic fountain, "Born," whose name suggests spring/fountain. Of interest to motorcyclists, there's a charging station for e-bikes right next to the fountain.

The Patschel Fountain in the idyllic market square babbles peacefully, the bells of St. Peter's parish church ring, and a few small children play around the bronze statue of Borner's mascot: Patschel the otter. In some places, the patina has already worn away from frequent petting.
