Οι 20 καλύτερες λίμνες Usingen

The Forellengut Herzberger restaurant has been around for over 100 years, located on the edge of the forest in Oberursel. Not only trout swim in the ponds, but also perch, pike and zander. The restaurant is quite cozy and only open on weekends and public holidays, be sure to make a reservation as it is fully booked well in advance!! Several hiking trails start from there, e.g. B. on the Bleibeskopf, depending on the desired length and hiking time.

Here you can sit idyllically in the forest 🌳 and eat fresh trout from your own farm. Only open Friday to Sunday 🙃

Both ponds are barrier-free almost everywhere and are therefore suitable for wheelchairs. The viewing platforms are also wheelchair accessible..👍

The first source reports about the pond date from 1610. In the 18th century, water pipes ran from the Hattsteinweiher to the city center of Usingen. Its name comes from the Lords of Hattstein, who were burgraves in Usingen in the 15th century. In the mid-1970s, the city undertook a fundamental redesign and renovation. Camping operations were stopped and a sandy beach was created on the west side. As the smallest bathing area in Hesse, the Hattsteinweiher is still a popular tourist destination today. Even Elvis Presley, the King of Rock'n Roll, sought peace and refuge from the ever-present fans in front of his house in August 1959 during his military service in the US Army in Friedberg. Elvis visited the Hattsteinweiher on or around the first anniversary of the death of his beloved mother Gladys. At this time he was suffering from a lot of mental stress, his mood was correspondingly depressed and he wanted to avoid all hustle and bustle as much as possible. Although he was not entirely successful, Elvis still came to the Hattsteinweiher several times, especially since it was not far from his 'Army Home' Friedberg/Bad Nauheim. The 'King's' visits ensured that the bathing area became much more well-known and the Hattsteinweiher is now of historical importance, at least for millions of Elvis fans. With its size of 1.6 hectares, it is the largest pond in the Hintertaunus, next to the Meerpfuhl. It is an artificially created body of water that is fed by a spring stream from the Stockheimer Bach and technically extracted spring water.

Here you can buy raw trout or have a delicious meal in the restaurant 😄. In summer you can also sit outside in the garden 🪴. The facility is very great. 🙃

The Bärenspruce pond is fed by the Weil. With a lot of pressure, the water rushed out of the pond through the weir into the Weil stream as a small waterfall.

A beautiful pond in the middle of the park, where you can also go boating.

Walk around and encounter the silence and beauty.
