Tips from the Community

Chris Yte
October 29, 2025, Kilianbrunnen, Hauptplatz, Amstetten

Unfortunately, the fountain was dismantled in 2024 due to the construction of the new main square. Although a new fountain was erected, it cannot compare to the Kilian Fountain, which had long been a prominent feature of the cityscape.

This looks like a really big wine cellar—I wonder how many bottles are in here. 🤔

A cider fountain is a special facility in the Mostviertel region that offers hikers and visitors the opportunity to enjoy fresh cider directly from a spring. These fountains can be found along various hiking trails and are filled by regional cider producers. Filling times vary depending on the location and operator, but many cider fountains are filled seasonally, especially during the warmer months and during the cider pear harvest.

This does not appear to be Jacob's Well, as the year 1999 found on the well does not match Jacob's Well.

Hmm, there is no water flowing at the fountain here.

The Dominikbrunnen fountain is located on the Jakobsbrunnenweg trail in Amstetten and is a popular spot along this hiking route. Due to landslide, the fountain was damaged, prompting renovation work. This included replacing the supply line, installing a new drainage system, securing the fountain wall, and renewing the trough. Across from the fountain is a beautiful Kneipp pool.

The beautiful trail along the Ybbs offers some beautiful motifs - the colony of greylag geese seems to have been living here for a long time
