  • Twelve Apostles Sources
The Apostle springs are stratified springs created by erosion . Four of them are connected to the Mücheln drinking water network. One of these sources (in Apostelstrasse) is enclosed and can be visited.
The Geiselquelle rises at the foot of the Veitsberg and is a typical spring . The emerging water is the overflow of an underground groundwater basin . The above-ground precipitation area behind the source is about 34 km². Before lignite mining began, the spring was one of the largest springs in Central Germany. The name Geisel is derived from the Old Norse word geis (an) , from which Geysir also comes. It means "to break forth with power". The Apostle springs in the immediate vicinity are also classified as spring springs. The productivity of the Geiselquelle was originally estimated at around 400 to 600 liters per second when the opencast mine had no influence on the groundwater level. The hostage was very rich in fish and seventeen mills were operated with its water. Today the mill trail leads past five of these mills. The stream was laid as early as 1540. Further laying took place through the mine outcrops between 1938 and 1965. For several years the spring has been pouring up to 35 liters per second. Today - after the last relocation in 2009 as part of the renovation work on the opencast mine - it flows into the Geiseltalsee , leaves the lake near Frankleben and flows in its old bed to Merseburg, where it flows into the Saale .
