Heilsteinbrunnen
Simmerath
The Romans were already aware of the health-promoting properties of the healing stone spring and the invigorating effect of the iron-rich water. The Heilstein spring belongs to the rare group of "alkaline acidulous springs", to which the Fachinger spring also belongs.
With a particularly low salt content and a relatively high magnesium content, the water of the Heilstein spring stands out from other "alkaline acidulous" waters.
The healing stone spring is located away from the forest in a well house, where the precious spring water is pumped from a depth of 52 meters and brought to the healing stone well. The well, which was only built in 2003, makes the water accessible to everyone.
Fancy a taste? The fountain is freely accessible in the inner courtyard of the Heilsteinhaus. The entrance is at the back of the building. The clear healing water should be tasted!
