Blautopf

A much sung about place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring always have a beneficial and invigorating effect.

The blue pot is the second most water-rich karst spring in Germany after the Aachtopf.
The blue color is caused by the light scattering on the smallest lime particles in the water. Due to the small size of the particles in the nanometer range, the blue light is preferably scattered.

The blue pot is followed by a large, mostly underwater cave system, which is explored by divers. In 2006, a 170 x 50 x 50m dry cave was discovered.

There is something magical about this little lake. The turquoise, blue and green glowing water has long fascinated us. We have been there countless times and would love to come back. Just not on nice weekends as it is overcrowded.
