Brunnen Ecke Talstrasse / Bahnhofstrasse

## Overview Brunnen Ecke Talstrasse / Bahnhofstrasse is a public drinking fountain fed by natural spring water, located at the intersection of Talstrasse and Bahnhofstrasse in the Swiss canton region near Solothurn (GPS: 47.2135, 7.7865). Switzerland has a long and proud tradition of public spring-fed fountains — many dating back centuries — and this fountain continues that heritage by offering fresh spring water to passersby. Switzerland's public fountains, known as *Brunnen*, are a hallmark of Swiss towns and villages. Unless explicitly marked otherwise (typically with a sign reading *Kein Trinkwasser*), these fountains have historically been used as drinking water sources by locals and visitors alike. This particular Brunnen sits at a convenient street-corner location, making it an easy stop for pedestrians, cyclists, and anyone exploring the area. ## Directions 1. Navigate to the intersection of **Talstrasse** and **Bahnhofstrasse** using the GPS coordinates **47.213532, 7.786529**. 2. The fountain is located right at the corner where these two streets meet. 3. If arriving by train, head toward Bahnhofstrasse ("Station Street"), which typically runs near or from the local railway station — the fountain should be visible at the Talstrasse junction. ## What to Expect This is a traditional Swiss public street fountain — expect a stone or metal basin with a continuously flowing spout of spring water. The fountain is publicly accessible at all times, situated on the sidewalk at a busy intersection. Swiss spring-fed public fountains typically deliver cold, refreshing water year-round, though flow may vary slightly by season. As with most Swiss *Brunnen*, the water has historically been considered suitable for drinking unless a *Kein Trinkwasser* (not drinking water) sign is posted. Visitors have reported that Swiss public spring fountains generally deliver clean, crisp-tasting water. Look for any posted signage at the fountain itself for the most current water status. The location at a street corner makes this an easy and quick stop — ideal for refilling a water bottle while walking through town. There is no hiking or trail access required; the fountain is right on the street.
