The karst spring Ehrhardsmühle is a karst spring designated as a natural monument near Kleinziegenfeld in Upper Franconia .
description
The source is behind the Erhardsmühle in a side valley of the Weismain towards Großziegenfeld . In an enclosed spring basin, several karst springs arise directly from the mountainside of the Upper Jura . The outflowing Ehrhardsmühlbach is dammed by a weir and was used to operate the mill. After about 300 meters it joins the Weismain.
The karst spring has been designated as a valuable geotope by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (geotope number: 478Q002).
