The Lippequelle is the well of the Lippe river in Bad Lippspringe (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). The water comes from 8 m beneath the surface and leaves the gound via a round pit, which is called Odins Auge ("Odin`s Eye").
According to a local legend, the well occured when Odin threw his eye on the dry ground in order to make the soil fertile.
