Es wird vermutet, dass diese Quelle die Wasserstelle des seligen Englmar war und das Wasser deshalb eine heilkräftige Wirkung gehabt haben soll.
Wie auf dem Schild an der Quelle ausgewiesen soll 1720 abt von Windberg berichtet haben:
"Innerhalb der Kapelle ist eine Quelle aus der die Pilger mit Ehrfurcht trinken, sich waschen und das Wasser an andere Orte mitnehmen!
Ich habe selbst davon getrunken, das Wasser ist sehr erfrischend
Die Quelle liegt am Europäischen Fernwanderweg E8 der von Irland nach Bulgarien führt.
Die Quelle wird von dem Kneipp Verein Sankt Englmar gepflegt
