The small ponds next to these large ones are fed by thermal springs, so they never freeze over. American slider turtles that have been released can also be found there.

From here there is a very nice view of Braunfels Castle with its pond.
Braunfels Castle is still inhabited by the royal family. There are regular tours and events at the castle.
The castle was built in 1246. In 1300 defensive towers and curtain walls were added.
