Dreisborn Buried for a long time
It wasn't until 1991 that this Drees in the Prembachtal was uncovered again. The spring socket was made with great craftsmanship from a single reddish sandstone block. This rock is found in a westerly direction, where it forms the ridges.

The stone carving was most likely created in the 17th to 18th centuries. Originally the fountain was around 1.20 meters high. However, the version is not completely preserved and part of the upper part is missing. Demolishing the top edge and adding an outlet opening should probably increase the amount of water poured into the spring, as this depends on the water pressure and thus the height of the water outlet.
The spring room and the access to it were now in poor condition and were in danger of falling into disrepair. As part of a measure by the Vulkaneifel Nature and Geopark, the spring and the forecourt were redesigned and made accessible.
