About
Known locally as the Brubbel, the Wallender Born is one of the few cold-water geysers in Europe. Every 30–35 minutes, the earth seems to come alive as a fountain of water bursts upward, reaching heights of up to four meters. Unlike hot-water geysers powered by volcanic heat, the Brubbel’s eruptions are caused by carbon dioxide gas rising through underground springs, a rare natural spectacle.
Information boards around the site explain the unusual geology behind the eruptions, as well as the cultural history of the Brubbel. There is a car park nearby, but the site can also be walked or cycled to.

Know Before You Go
To get up close to the Brubbel you’ll need to pay a small entrance fee at the kiosk. The site is set up for visitors, with benches, picnic tables, and informational signs explaining the science behind the geyser. Eruptions happen roughly every 35 minutes, so plan to linger a little while to catch it in action.
