Refill
In addition to the drinking fountains, there is also the Germany-wide "Refill" initiative. Stores, clubs and cafés, among others, take part in this initiative and offer to fill tap water into the bottles you bring with you free of charge.
All participating locations can be recognized by the Refill sticker on the door or shop window. In Erlangen, there are already more than 40 refill locations throughout the city. All refill stations in Germany are marked on a map on the website https://refill-deutschland.de/.
