Calcareous spring water flows downhill over moss and plant remains. Water evaporates and tiny lime particles settle on moss, plant remains and the subsoil and harden. This creates a very porous rock, "tuff stone". Over time, tuff stone has become known as "duck stone". The forest site and spring are now named after this name. 8 liters of water per second constantly bubble out of the spring. Endangered and protected moss species are native to the spring area. Because of the characteristics mentioned, the lime spring and its drainage area are designated as a natural monument. A shelter and tables and benches next to it invite you to rest and celebrate. https://www.moringen.de/stadt-moringen/wohnen-freizeit-tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/ducksteinquelle/

Source of the Ahlebach stream. A beautiful place to rest. The hut is very inviting. Stamp station no. 30 of the "Wilde Heimat" stamp booklet of the Solling-Vogler region is located right next to the hut.

The river Ahle collects its spring water in an artificial spring pond before carrying it further south. Just when it reaches the age of majority (calculated in kilometers) it is allowed to feed the sweltering water before it pours another seven kilometers later into the Weser. The Ahle is of great importance for the water balance in Südsolling, because traditionally little rain falls here, and not only in the current dry year. The source of the Ahle, on the other hand, delivers a stable amount of water, so that the little river - "Ahle" means nothing more than "small river" - forms a constant element in the local water system.
