Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

In southern Germany’s Swabian Alps is a small town called Blautopf where you’ll find Blautopf, a legendary crystal clear blue spring. Waters come to the surface here from an intricate underground cave system fed by rain and snow. The pool at Blautopf forms the headwaters of the Blau River, which eventually flows into the Danube. The funnel shaped spring is over 60 feet deep at its center point, and there’s no shortage of legends of mermaids and mischievous water sprites. Adjacent to the pool is an historic mill, including a blacksmith shop powered by the spring’s waters.
