Pießling-Ursprung

The Pießling-Ursprung emerges from a 32-meter deep spring pool, releasing water that flows through an extensive network of underground limestone cavities.

The spring has been a protected natural monument in Upper Austria, demonstrating the geological processes that have shaped the Eastern Alps over millions of years.

The spring serves as an educational site where visitors learn about water systems and geological formations through designated viewing platforms and information displays.

A 20-minute walk from the Roßleithen hiking parking lot leads visitors to the spring via a marked trail that climbs 125 meters in elevation.

During summer, the spring releases 2,000 liters of water per second, with flow rates increasing to 7,000 liters during snowmelt or after heavy rainfall.
