Unfortunately, it was not possible to climb the tower, and it was particularly disappointing that there was no notice on the official pages about the closure, which has been in effect since June 2025.

Iron oxide was found deposited at this spring. This can be seen in the pipe and the stones, which have a reddish color. However, there is so little that it is not a mineral spring. The measurement of the nitrate content showed a low value, so the water quality is good. The pH value showed a value between and 8. This is an alkaline value. Therefore, this spring can be described as an alkaline spring.
