에벤하우젠‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 호수

The tree-lined spring, at 17 meters wide, is only about half as wide as the Kainspring, but at 23.5 meters deep, almost twice as deep. The Melchiorbrunnen (Melchior Spring) discharges 20 liters per second. The spring's bed consists of meter-deep limestone mud, through which the karst water pushes, causing it to bubble. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melchiorbrunnen

Ideal for evening strolls. Nice for unwinding.

A popular meeting point in the Hainich National Park is the Hünenteich, which also gives its name to the circular hiking trail of the same name. Easy to reach via the Fuchsfarm, Rispelsweg or Zollgarten hiking car parks. Recommended in any weather and relatively easy to hike.

The spring area west of Oberdorla is of great importance for the region's drinking water supply. These deep sinkhole springs are of particular interest to karst and cave researchers. VÖLKER (1983) reported: "The bottom of the Melchiorbrunnen consists of meter-high lime mud, the depth of which could not be determined. The water pushes through the lime mud and causes it to bubble. At the bottom there are tree remains that are completely encrusted with lime."

Kain jump - legend Two boys were playing with marbles west of the village of Oberdorla. One of them was called Kain. While playing, he threw one of his marbles too far, so that it fell into a hole in the ground between some large stones in a small hollow. Kain tried to move the stones aside to get his marble out. When he finally managed to loosen one of the large chunks, a strong jet of water shot towards him, filling the entire hollow. The other boy called out to him in alarm: "Kain jump - otherwise you will drown!" This incident thus gave the sinkhole spring its name.

The Melchiorbrunnen sinkhole spring has a shelter. The Kainsprung sinkhole spring is in the immediate vicinity.

In the immediate vicinity, a stone from the local history society points to the former village site of Kogen.

Blooming water irises can be admired here in early summer.
