About 2 liters of medicinal mineral water flows out of the brick spring surround every minute - a refreshing and tasty drink due to its high mineral content. The rust-red deposits here also show the high iron content of the spring water, which is typical of the Volcanic Eifel. A log cabin was built next to the attractively framed “Dreesquelle”, which was renovated after damage caused by the storm Xynthia in 2010. It offers hikers and nature lovers protection and invites them to linger.
