The Original Schnurstein Spring - Lelkendorf
Not far from the town of Lelkendorf, you can reach the spring on foot through the middle of the forest after crossing two bridges.
An adventure for young and old alike! Around 1830, two farmsteads were established between Neukalen and Lelkendorf. August-Friedrich Schnurstein bequeathed the property to his sons Ernst and Rudolf, known as Wittkopp and Schwattkopp. Ernst did not stay long; he sold his farm. Rudolf started a family and ran the farm until his death on September 18, 1973. Born in 1869, he thus lived to be 104 years old. Legend has it that he lived to such an advanced age because he drank “only” the iron-rich spring water that bubbled—and still bubbles—up from deep within his property.
