The Rechenquelle (Rechnung Spring) The Rechenquelle (Rechnung Spring) was dug by the railway for the signalman who lived not far from here. It was redesigned in 1977 by the municipality of Bodenwöhr and the responsible forestry office (which also included the Weichselbrunn pond and the forest). The name of the spring refers to a wooden rake, which was intended to prevent pike migrating upstream in the spring from being caught by upstream residents. Source: Information board
