Natural glacier mill in Berschis

Description

The Ughürig Brunnä is a stately natural glacier mill with a diameter of several metres. It is said that the Romans drove the almost round "well", which is always filled with water, into the rock. It is documented that they used it as a fresh water reservoir, whereas it later lost its importance.

The legend (Kuoni No. 356) knows that deep in the water-filled grotto are hidden immeasurable treasures of gold and other treasures, which Satan guards in the form of a monstrous serpent. If someone tries to dig up the treasures and redeem the penitent soul, the serpent spews poison and fire so violently that no one has ever succeeded in doing so to this day.

The energies on the northern slope at the Ughürig fountain are rather uncomfortable, the radiation quality has degrading elements, a longer stay is not recommended. Originally, a spring deity may have been worshipped here. Christianity has demonized the watering hole with the devil and snake (dragon serpent) and called it "ughürig".
