Very worth seeing pond. Due to the low water level, he had a creepy aura when we visited. Definitely visit when you are around.

Hüle, Hülbe or Hüllweiher is a mostly artificially created small body of water on the water-poor plateaus of the Swabian Alb and the Franconian Jura. The still waters are located within built-up areas, in fields and in the forest. The cases were fed by rainwater and lay on natural waterlogged areas. As sky ponds, they belong to the still water category. Water was usually supplied to the pond via ditches and channels. Some of the cases were decorated with a lettering. The waters were of great importance as a watering place for livestock or for producing industrial water.[1][2] The Hülen lost their importance with the connection of the Alb settlements to the water supply and today represent unique cultural and historical evidence of the Swabian Alb and the Franconian Jura. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hüle
