20-Pipe Well

In the vicinity of the well is the Eckbach stream, which has its own source four kilometres upstream and is a left tributary of the River Rhine.

The water rises from a fracture and is initially impounded into two large well chambers before being pouring out of 20 parallel pipes.

[2] Above the well is a protected inscription tablet of sandstone dating to 1855, when the well was given its present appearance; it was also rebuilt in the 1980s, undergoing a thorough renovation including some new components.

The inscription is an imaginary dialogue between the walker (W) and the well (B):[2] Siehe, Wanderer: Gottes Brünnlein hat Wasser die Fülle!

W.: Ja, Brünnlein, du hast Wassers die Füll; Gibst Jedem zu trinken, der da will.
