geology
Siebenbrünnen is a karst spring . Karst springs are water outlet points at which the water in the mountain body flows along gaps and faults and comes from a relatively distant area. The Siebenbrünnen are fed by melt water from the Rezli Glacier. The spring discharge varies little over the course of the year due to the permanent water supply from the glacier, which is atypical for karst springs, which normally have a very variable discharge.
