The Kressenborn is a karst spring designated as a natural monument near Frankershausen in the Werra-Meißner district of Hesse . Like the neighboring Breitenborn, it feeds the Berka tributary Bornaibach .
description
The Kressenborn is located in the Geo-Naturpark Frau-Holle-Land (Werratal.Meißner.Kaufunger Wald) north of the Berkatal district of Frankershausen between the two sections of the Kripp- and Hielöcher nature reserve , about 100 m west of the Breitenborn. The outflow of both sources forms the Bornaibach , which already operates the Oberdorfer Mühle after about 200 m and the Blaumühle 500 m further downstream and flows into the Berka in Frankershausen. The spring water of the Kressenborn springs from under an elder bush , then flows into a dammed up small depression and crosses under a dirt road.
In the 15th century, the town of Borne , whose name goes back to the springs, was located near the two karst springs.
