    There is good fresh water. On hot days you can stand it well in it 😀. It refreshes one. Quelle is located directly below the Sebastian church, only about 40 meters lower.

      The Sebastian water is said to have healing powers

        The Sebastian spring is located on the eastern outskirts of Breitenbrunn, below the rock on which the baroque pilgrimage church of St. Sebastian stands. The spring is enclosed in a walk-in house. The outflowing brook is used in a dammed basin for treading water and flows after about 180 m into the Bachhaupter Laber. The spring water is said to have healing powers, as it is believed to have been the cause of the sudden recovery of the fatally ill watchman's wife in 1672.

        After the second healing of a foot ailment in 1691, she had the spring house built in honor of Saint Sebastian. Many pilgrims still drink the water from the Sebastiansquelle, believing it protects them from diseases.
