    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.

        What can I say - due to the incredible amount of rain recently, the Blautopf is currently more milky than blue, despite the bright sunshine today. Anyway, still impressive. You don't see it every day. In addition, it "boils" as a result, that is to say, you can see in the middle the water gushing up from the karst spring. And that's probably not seen that often, according to the locals!
