헤겐하임‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Much has been written about the fountains in Basel - their history, their architecture, their diversity. But one thing is often forgotten: the water in Basel's fountains is of drinking quality. Not only is it clean, but it also invites you to bathe and refresh yourself - and that is actually intended. A special detail that underlines the charm of the city in its own way.

One of over 200 fountains in Basel. Not just a decorative fountain, but also for refreshment! Best drinking water!👌

Fountain in Augustinergasse ⛲ - Basilisk creature at the top - Basel 🇨🇭

One of many beautiful fountains in Basel. This one was decorated in 1530 with a fountain post and basilisk looking down on the Basel shield. It was called the "Old Augustinian Fountain" and was replaced in 1846 by the current "Augustinian Fountain".

The climb is a bit strenuous but great view from the platform

The Ermitage is a large and lovingly designed green area from 1785, with three idyllic ponds, several romantic grottos, historical buildings, pretty walking paths between the shore and the edge of the forest and, on top of it all, the castle ruins of Bierseck Castle, as the crowning glory of the whole. It is a wonderful place for physical and mental relaxation, but those seeking peace and quiet should visit outside of the holidays or weekends. It is a real visitor magnet. Warning! The grottos can only be reached on foot and via steep stairs. The rest of the garden is mostly wheelchair accessible and suitable for pushchairs. There are no parking spaces directly at the Ermitage! Free entry!

The fountain is on the footpath to the cathedral. The people of Basel actually bathe in some fountains in the summer.
