history

The small idyllic forest spring that emerges in a small gorge is shrouded in legend. This is where the foolish Gusterti is supposed to haunt .

Anyone who got lost while picking berries or collecting wood only had to shout: “Gusterti, who am I?” Then she helped him out of his distress by calling out to him from invisible treetops: “Göh ner grod aus, no kummst zum Brinnla “, But if you were at the Kalten Brunnen, then you were back on the street.

The administration of the Bavarian State Forests put up an information board on site in 2017.

description

The stratified source has a small bed that rises from two source pots . The water runs off in a small ditch that flows into a nameless stream. After about 1.2 km of flow, it drains into the northeastern Röthenbach.
