The Lone River originates from the Lonetopf, a spring in Urspring (562 m above sea level), which is 6 m deep and 10 m in diameter. An average of 280 liters per second bubble from this karst spring. The water that bubbles to the surface is blue, sparkling, and extremely clean. It is very clear, and trout also swim in the water here. Like the Blautopf, this is a karst spring.
