Mineral springs
At Heckenmünster there are two carbonated springs, also known as “Säuerlinge”: the Viktoria spring and a sulfur spring called “Wallenborn” (not to be confused with the Wallenden Born, about 35 km away ). The springs were used as baths by the Romans ; the water from the Victoria spring was previously bottled and sold. Today both springs are set in as wells, but are no longer used economically. In the valley of the Bendersbach at the level of the local location Heckenmünster you can still find a mineral spring with a high mineral and carbonic acid content but with only a small amount of water.
