Blautopf, Swabian Alb in Baden-Wuerttemberg

Caribbean blue in Baden-Wuerttemberg? That’s exactly what you can find in the blue shining Karst Spring in Blaubeuren on the edge of the Swabian Alb. The Blautopf is a legendary place.  Water colouring was once explained by a barrel of ink being poured in every day. In popular belief, the blue pot was considered bottomless. Attempts to determine the depth with a lead pilot are said to have been thwarted again and again by a mermaid who stole the weight.
