Descripción
The Blautopf is a spring that serves as the source of the river Blau in the karst landscape on the Swabian Jura's southern edge. A small area with a spring that is beautifully blue. Because of its high water pressure, the spring has developed a funnel-like shape with a depth of 21 metres. The water's peculiarly blue color varies in intensity depending on weather and flow. Walking around the spring, you will see the Mirlo-acuático Europeo in the shallow, fast-flowing water. Other birds that can be seen on the lake and the surrounding area are Lavandera Cascadeña, Ánade azulón, Serreta Grande (in winter), Milano Real, Carbonero Palustre and Curruca Capirotada.
