Blaue Quelle, Natural spring in Erl, Austria.
The Blue Spring is a natural spring in Erl that continuously releases fresh water, forming a basin with green and turquoise reflections. The water is surrounded by green vegetation and flows constantly through the landscape.
The spring has been cared for by private owners over generations, who protected its natural features and water quality. This long history of private stewardship has preserved the site as it exists today.
The spring is closely tied to the local inn, where visitors experience the clear water and natural surroundings as part of daily life. This place shapes the village's character and draws people who appreciate the water and quiet countryside.
A visit can easily be combined with a stop at the neighboring inn, where parking is available and access to the spring is a short walk. The site is accessible year-round and the paths are easy to manage.
Despite extensive scientific investigations, the origin of the spring water remains unknown, giving the Blue Spring an air of mystery. Even hydrologists cannot definitively explain its connection to surrounding water sources.
