Achursprung, Natural spring in Landkreis Ravensburg, Germany
Achursprung is a natural spring in Ravensburg district that releases water into a circular basin and forms the source of the Ach River. The water emerges continuously from the ground and immediately feeds the stream that flows through this rural landscape.
The spring formed within an ancient bend of the Danube River that flowed through this region approximately 200,000 years ago. This geological legacy continues to shape the landscape and reveals the deep earth history of the area.
The spring's name comes from its role as the water source for the surrounding area. It has long served as a meeting point where locals gather to observe the clear waters emerging from the ground.
The spring is accessible on foot and sits in a rural agricultural area with straightforward access. Visitors should expect damp ground and occasionally muddy terrain, especially after rainfall.
The water takes on a blue tint as it emerges, creating a striking visual effect through the way light refracts. This color comes from the mineral composition of the spring and makes the source stand out visually.
