Very refreshing. But the KG pipe doesn't meet the DVGW drinking water standard. ;-)

The popular Franzl spring is located at the entrance to the Oelsnitzgrund. Clear, clean water bubbles out of it. It tastes good and you can refill your water bottle here. This spring water is said to be of high quality.
