Aubach spring

The Aubach spring

The Aubach spring, also known as the Au spring, is located in a narrow valley about a kilometer south of Menchau , below Ordenbrunn . The karst spring is enclosed in a round shaft made of sandstone blocks from 1770, which is designated as a monument . The bottom of this source is covered with sand, which is swirled slightly upwards by the water pressure. There are stone benches around the spring.
