Here you can refill your drinking bottles with a very fine drop. The mineral water from the St. Batholomäus spring is water containing sodium hydrogen carbonate and is intended to prevent urinary stones, cure urinary tract infections and cure gastrointestinal diseases. So just the right thing for the sweaty cyclist who wants to do something good for his oranism again.

The St. Batholome spring was drilled at a depth of 188 meters in 1930/31. The area is on a geological fault line and it was clear that there had to be mineral water here; the reason was the contamination of the groundwater by the ranchers. They wanted to find new and "pure" water. There are a total of 20 springs around Lake Neusiedl, and two more in Illmitz itself, the "Sulfina" and the "Gastrina". One flows into Lake Neusiedl, the second is closed and awaits use. Here you could, in the truest sense of the word, already stand on "golden" ground, because with 290 km2 you have the largest mineral water deposit in Europe. The funding is said to be sponsored by the EU from 2006 onwards. The water of the Bartholomew spring is still freely accessible and free for all people, according to information it should always be. It is a sodium hydrogen carbonate water, a drinking acid. There are small brochures at the municipal office that provide information about the exact composition of the source. Preventing urinary stones with the medicinal water, curing urinary tract infections and possibly gastrointestinal diseases and doing something good for the acidified organism. The octagonal fountain is open almost continuously. It is a filling station and a drinking hall in one, in the mini-park in front of the church the citizens meet and exchange information or read the notice board. This source is sanctified by the people who trust it.

Medicinal water source right next to the bike path.

The drinking bottle can also be refilled here.
