Kohlendioxidquelle im Gelenberger Wald
Gelenberg
Many years ago it was believed that the release of carbon dioxide was a sign of extinct volcanism. But this is not the case: the molten rock inside the earth (magma) contains, in addition to mineral components, gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, sulfur dioxide, fluorine and chlorine. Depending on how warm it is and how much pressure is created, they escape through cracks in the earth's crust. The source of carbon dioxide in the Gelenberg Forest is a Mofette.

The existence of the village Birresborn was documented for the first time in 721. The name "Birgisburias" can be translated as "good source".Numerous finds in the area of the source evidence that this source was already known to the Romans.
