The Enz, which flows into the Neckar, is created by the confluence of the Großer and Kleiner Enz near Calmbach north of Bad Wildbad. The Große Enz, in turn, is created by the confluence of the Kaltenbach and the Poppelbach near Enzklösterle-Gompelscheuer. Just a few meters next to this confluence, a small spring was found and called the Enzquelle. Such a symbolic place, if it is marked accordingly, definitely has a certain magic.

The Great Enz has its source in Gompelscheuer or arises here from the Poppelbach and the Kaltenbach. The listed Enzquelle, also called Enz-Ursprung, is the starting point of the Enztalradweg and a popular meeting place and destination. The spring was created with a retaining wall and offers seating and an information board. Since the summer of 2021, the new, handcrafted raft made of wood has been a visual highlight on the little wall of the spring tapping.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly much beauty in
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it."
(H.Erhardt)
