As beautiful as the blue pot

Hiking

The Urspring spring (source pot Urspring), which is located at the former Benedictine monastery Urspring and today Urspring school, is covered by a natural stone wall. The source forms a small lime-sands hill. On average, the karst spring pours 500 liters per second. The spring pot is about five meters deep.

The Urspring converges not far with the Ach and continues towards Schelklingen. Here is its origin and invites you to linger. By the way, you can still see the former monastery complex, which is now a school with boarding school.
