Disznófő Spring

The Disznófő Spring emerges from Pannonian sandstone layers at 378 meters elevation, featuring an iron wild boar head that dispenses water.

The spring house construction dates back to the 1820s, with the addition of the decorative iron boar head spout during the 1890s.

Local residents have maintained traditions of gathering near the spring, which became a meeting point for artists and writers in the nineteenth century.

While the spring remains restricted from public access, visitors can obtain information through Normafa Park Management, operating daily from 8 AM to 4 PM.

The spring's location, known historically as Sauwinkel or Sow Nook, included a restaurant built in the 1840s that served guests until the late twentieth century.
