Heder-Quellgebiet

  • Body of water
  • Kneipp pool/water treading
  • Nature experience area
The headwaters of the Heder are located in Salzkotten-Upsprunge, west of Hederbornstraße. In a small area here, about 20 springs emerge from the ground. Some even rise from beneath houses and farmyards. They gush forth vigorously, converge, and form the green-blue course of the Heder.

The name “Upsprunge” comes from the springs: the water “springs up” and rises to the surface. Just a few meters downstream from the confluence, the water’s force powered a mill. The old millwheel has been preserved to this day.

A footbath invites visitors to cool their feet in the refreshing spring water. Information signs provide insights into the unique features of the Heder springs.
