Hoher Brunnen bei Sollngriesbach

Hoher Brunnen bei Sollngriesbach is a layer spring near Berching where water emerges from tuff formations. The water flows downward in stages, creating layered deposits that show how minerals accumulate over time.

The spring developed as mineral-laden water moved through tuff layers over extended periods. This flow created the layered deposits visible today, forming gradually through countless cycles of water movement and mineral accumulation.

The spring site incorporates strict preservation measures, reflecting German environmental protection standards and geological research traditions.

The spring sits along a marked hiking route and is easy to reach on foot from nearby areas. Wear sturdy shoes since paths can become slippery, especially after rain.

The water remains consistently cold throughout the year, creating specific conditions where specialized mosses and moisture-loving plants thrive. This constant temperature allows uncommon species to flourish in these conditions.
