Spring alluvial cones are a special feature of the karst of the Paderborn plateau, as they only occur there. These are temporary springs on shield-shaped elevations. They formed in the valley bottoms of the Alme and the Altenau, among other places. In total, there are 17 of these spring alluvial cones in the area of the Paderborn plateau. These have a height of up to 2 meters and a diameter of up to 50 meters. Many of these have now been completely or partially destroyed by road construction and drainage. They were first discovered by students of the Mauritius Gymnasium in 1955 during a project to observe the alpine pasture. The largest spring alluvial cone is located in the Mental near Henglarn.
