Draitschbrunnen

## Overview The Draitschbrunnen is a historic mineral spring located in Bad Godesberg, a district of Bonn, Germany. This centuries-old spring is widely credited as the reason Bad Godesberg earned its "Bad" (spa) designation, having long attracted visitors seeking the benefits of its mineral-rich, naturally carbonated water. The spring's naturally sparkling character — a result of dissolved carbon dioxide from deep geological sources — sets it apart from most surface springs and has made it a beloved local institution. The Draitschbrunnen water is reported to contain a high concentration of minerals, and its naturally effervescent quality has been prized by locals and visitors alike for generations. A detailed history and mineral analysis of the spring (in German) is available at [quellenatlas.eu](http://www.quellenatlas.eu/media/5b530006c5b96473ffff8a09ac144221.pdf) — even non-German speakers can review the mineral content data listed at the end of the document. ## Directions 1.
