description
The red fountain is located south of the Maria Medingen monastery , directly on the St 2033. It is a boggy spring with red-brown shimmering water. The color comes from iron solutions and karst clay. The spring water arises from the mass limestone layer of the Upper Jura . The Klosterweihergraben , which rises there, flows over the Klosterbach to the Danube .
The source has been identified as a valuable geotope by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (geotope number: 773Q001).
