Dolderlesbrünnle is a modest historical site tucked away in the woods of Altdorf bei Nürnberg. This small spring is marked by a memorial stone dedicated to Otto and Amalia Stromer von Reichenbach and is steeped in local folklore. Legend tells of a man who regained his health by walking to the spring daily to drink its waters, highlighting the restorative power of the journey itself. While the site is currently in a rustic and weathered state, it remains a curious point of interest for those hiking the trails between the Grünsberger Straße parking lot and the nearby Sophienquelle.

Dolderlesbrünnle receives mixed feedback from visitors, primarily due to its current state of maintenance. Many appreciate the historical context and the charming local legend of the 'fat man' who recovered his health by walking to the spring. However, several reviewers point out that the site is in poor condition, appearing neglected and half-decayed. The water flow is often described as a mere trickle that sometimes bypasses the intended pipe entirely. Despite these maintenance issues, it is noted as a peaceful landmark for those already exploring the forest paths. It is located on the right-hand side of the path when heading toward Sophienquelle and can be easily overlooked.
