Hiking

Nice little spring in the middle of the forest, on hot days you can refresh yourself and rest under the thick oak tree.

Hiking

This spring was already used to supply Gohrisch with water in the 18th century. In 1904 a central aqueduct was built and the Queckenborn was forgotten and fell into disrepair. It was not until 1999/91 that the spring was repaired by the Gohrisch Mountain Association. Now all thirsty hikers can refresh themselves at this point.

The source was recorded on maps as early as 1782 and served to supply water to the town of Gorisch.
