The source is north of Dietfurt in the valley of the White Laber (lower citizens Laber). There are several sources of falls that arise directly from the rock. The source area in front of the exit points is covered with aquatic plants. The pouring of the spring depends heavily on precipitation and can rise to several hundred liters per second after heavy rain or snowmelt . Numerous heavy hunger wells can escape in their immediate vicinity . The flowing stream is used for fish farming and flows into the White Laber after about 240 m.
