Jochberger 7-Brunnenweg
****
Seven historic fountains are the attractions on this culturally stimulating hiking route. Not all of them provide drinking water, but there are excellent places to stop for refreshments along the route.
From Jochberg to Jochberg and in between an easy circular trail of ten relaxing kilometers: past picturesque farms, the Kupferplatte show mine, the farmhouse museum and the parish church of St. Wolfgang, whose "miraculous" Wolfgangsquelle spring was a popular pilgrimage destination in the 16th century.
Jochberg is a place with many stories to tell. The small village was famous early on as a place of special treasure because copper was mined here around 3,000 years ago. This long history has shaped the village but it is primarily the special natural treasures related to water that give Jochberg its unique character today. These not only include the impressive Sintersbach waterfall and the forest swimming pool, but also the historic fountains that used to supply water to the local farms and population year round. In the past, pipe systems for supplying water didn‘t exist, so these sources were vital for both people and animals.
The 7 Fountain Trail leads away from the stress of everyday life, passing the historic fountains as well as old farms, the Kupferplatte Copper Mine, the Farm Museum and the Parish Church of St. Wolfgang, whose „miraculous“ Wolfgangsquelle fountain was a very popular pilgrimage destination in the 16th century.
