Leschenbrunnen

Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany

According to local legend, beautiful white pearls shimmer in the waters of the Leschenbrunnen in Bamberg. However, only the true believers and pure of heart can scoop them up from the sandy bottom of the spring. All others find only frothy white foam in their hands.

A query to the Bamberg Tourist Bureau provided more information. The well still exists, and is located beside the Hotel Weierich, at Lugbank 5. The name comes from a brewer named Lesch who formerly owned the property.
