Brunnenmühlenquelle, Karst spring in Heidenheim an der Brenz, Germany.

The Brunnenmühlenquelle releases an average of 1,500 liters of water per second, with variations ranging from 500 to 5,000 liters per second.

In 1585, a wooden water wheel system pumped water from the Brunnenmühlenquelle spring to Hellenstein Castle, raising it 100 meters to reach its destination.

The spring represents a vital part of the Swabian Alb water system, ranking as the third strongest source in the entire geological formation.

The spring basin remains accessible to visitors, situated between Heidenheim and Mergelstetten along the right bank of the Brenz River.

The underground catchment area of Brunnenmühlenquelle spans over 100 square kilometers, extending all the way to Böhmenkirch.
