This is not a waterfall in the traditional sense. The neighboring former Leesten watermill is a historic mill in the municipality of Strullendorf, boasting a long tradition and now considered an important cultural monument. The current listed building dates back to the 18th century. It is a characteristic half-timbered house in a quiet location on the outskirts of Leesten. The mill was once powered by the water of the Leesten stream. Remnants of the old millrace are still visible on the slope above the building.

Tummler is the Franconian term for periodically flowing karst springs, which are generally referred to as hunger fountains. These are springs that dry up in the dry season and flow after particularly heavy rainfall or when the snow melts. The so-called “Tummler” are something special and are definitely worth a visit. The dry valley in summer, small Tummler, large Tummler.

Beautiful travertine terraces. I have often driven up the Würgauer Berg, but I would not have expected such a wonderful piece of nature next to the road...

In summer, an inconspicuous black hole in the rock face, but with a considerable depth of over 18 meters. During heavy rain and when the snow melts, considerable amounts of water can be spewed out here.

The “Kalksinterbach with accompanying trees east of Würgau” has been anchored as a protected part of the landscape in the Bavarian Nature Conservation Act since November 1997. Sinter steps, also known as sinter terraces, are deposits of porous limestone tuff or densely layered limestone sinter in a stream or flowing body of water and, in contrast to stalactites, form relatively quickly. Small deposits initially form on branches, stones and twigs that have fallen into the water and then, over time, larger and larger barriers form in the stream. Over time, these barriers develop into smaller basins, which mark themselves as sinter steps and accumulate the water in a cascade manner.

After the snow melts in spring, karst water emerges from the rock hole, at times in a flood that covers the entire valley floor of the dry valley up to the Heroldsmühle. The stones in front of the rock hole were also washed out. Since the spring runs dry the rest of the year, it is popularly known as the Hunger Well. The emergence of large amounts of water from the tumbler was previously interpreted as an ominous omen. The large Tummler rises from a fissure in the Malm Beta, which is expanded into a spring cave by dissolving the lime. The small Tummler, another karst spring that only flows in spring, is located 200m up the valley. (Source: information board on site)
