Because Duppacher Drees has a little more sodium chloride (table salt) dissolved in the water, it has a slightly salty taste. If you hold a burning candle in the deepest part of the well socket when there is no wind, it will go out because the heavy CO 2 gas that is pumped out with the water collects here. The spring area is covered by an elaborately designed spring temple.
