The Schreienden Brunnen are a karst spring in the Kitzbühel Alps in Tyrol .
The source, which emerges as a veil waterfall, is located at an altitude of 980 m above sea level. A. in Hörndlinger Graben near Fieberbrunn . After a short distance the water flows to the Schwarzache . It was assumed early on that it was the outflow from the Wildsee lake , 3 km to the west . Marking tests showed that the Schreiende Brunnen are actually fed by water from the Wildsee, the runoff of which disappears after a short distance in a ponor in the Karst.
Since 1998 there has been a source measuring point of the Hydrographic Service Tyrol at the Schreienden Brunnen. As is typical for a karst spring, the water flow increases rapidly when it rains or when the snow melts. The mean spring discharge is 76 l / s (1998-2010 series), the minimum 18 l / s (measured on March 6, 2001), the maximum 361 l / s (September 6, 2001). The water temperature fluctuates between 5 and 7 ° C, the conductivity between 128 and 384 μS / cm with an average value of 266 μS / cm.
