ディーアーシャイトの天然記念物・トップ20

a very beautiful fountain that must be preserved

For the sulfur spring, see e.g. https://kulturdb.de/einobjekt.php?id=1720

The CO2 springs are classified as simple acid springs. The gas, carbonic acid dissolved in water, rises through the cracks in the fault line and partially dissolves in the groundwater at a shallow depth. The now slightly acidic water dissolves mineral compounds from the rock it flows through, which settle on the earth's surface as spring sediment. The mineral springs around Heckenmünster have a high iron content, which results from the fact that in the subsurface of the spring areas, at a depth of approximately 10-20 m, there is a red iron horizon through which the springs flow. The springs generally produce extremely low water flow, between 1 and 3 liters per minute. The Viktoria spring in Heckenmünster was used commercially around the turn of the century; between 1880 and 1900, approximately 50,000 bottles of mineral water were bottled annually. In the immediate vicinity of the spring, you can still find many pieces of glass and broken bottles that were broken or discarded at the time. Source: Eifel.info

This is where I refilled my water bottle.

Unfortunately no drinking water for the bottle. But in an idyllic location.

Can smell a bit :-)

As the name suggests, there's a spring with excellent water near the small chapel. So when your bottles are empty, be sure to walk or drive past.

Definitely make a detour here !!! Beautiful chapel!
