 The Urspring shortly after its source |

The Urspring is a left, 580 m long tributary of the Ach , near Schelklingen in the Alb-Donau district , Baden-Württemberg , and one of the shortest rivers in Germany.
Original source
The Ursprunging spring (officially: Quelltopf Urspring ), sometimes just called Ursprung , which is located at the former Benedictine monastery of Urspring and the current Urspring School , is surrounded by a natural stone wall. The spring forms a small hill made of limestone . The karst spring pours an average of 500 liters per second (min. 100 l / s, max. 2,500 l / s). The source pot is about five meters deep. The catchment area extends to the Münsingen military training area .
course
The outflow from the spring pot takes place via two weirs that divert the stream in two arms around a building in which the school's tailoring and model-making workshop is located. Shortly after the building, the two arms reunite.
The Urspring now flows south in the valley of an Urdonau loop . Your water is fed into some fish farms there. About 500 meters below its source, a few meters east of the source of the Ach , the Urspring flows into the Ach .
