The "Jungferla Spring" originates in this 85-meter-long, multi-branched sandstone cellar. In the 1960s, the entrance to the sandstone cellar was bricked up and overgrown for safety reasons. It was thus no longer visible, but it wasn't entirely forgotten by the residents of Baiersdorf. In 2006, the water in the renovated Jungferla Fountain dried up shortly before its inauguration. This prompted the decision to search for the spring's source in the buried sandstone cellar. After extensive excavation, the former cellar entrance was found bricked up. On December 5, 2006, the cellar was entered again for the first time. Its condition was so good that the local history society, with the support of sponsors and local businesses, renovated and restored it, redesigning the entrance area. On May 25, 2008, the cellar was reopened to the public with the first "Jungferla Cellar Festival." Due to popular demand, a "cellar festival" is now held every year on Ascension Day. Sandstone or rock cellars have a long tradition in Franconia. They were used primarily for storing beer, wine, and agricultural products. Without additional cooling, the cellars maintain a constant temperature of around 8°C year-round. Because beer was stored in the cellars, a tavern was often built nearby, usually above or in front of them – which is why even today in Franconia people still go "to the cellar" rather than to a beer garden. The cellars consist of passages of varying lengths and sizes, hewn into hillsides. The cellar is closed off with a gate. {Source: Information panel on site]
