Trifterlebnispfad - Sensibles Quellbiotop - Nr. 14

Patrizia or Johannis Spring Information board 14

This small hillside spring below the path is rather inconspicuous, but a small biotope in its own right. There are about 500 special animal species and about 50 plant species that are adapted to and dependent on springs. As small-scale and protected biotopes, springs are particularly sensitive because their small-scale colonisation depends strongly on the environment. Many animals feed on fallen leaves, especially black alder.

The path that used to run directly through it was relocated for nature conservation reasons. This way, you don't get your feet wet. Nevertheless, the spring is easily recognisable from above.
