Another testimony of volcanic origin is the Vulkania healing spring, not far from the Nürburg spring in Dreis-Brück. The recognised healing water is a little refreshment on the way.

The magnesium-calcium mineralisation here comes from sandstone and claystone as well as overlying volcanic rock. The high content of carbonic acid originates from the Eifel volcanism and gives the water the name ‘Säuerling’ (acidulous). A total of five springs are known in Birresborn, several of which were of great economic importance. Today, drinking water can be taken from the Lindenquelle and the Fischbach-Drees.
