    Hiking

    The pond was originally created by monks from the Wettingen monastery for fish farming. The pond got its current name because, according to legend, Napoleon's troops emptied the lake to plunder the fish that lived in it.

    It is located in a nature reserve and is easily accessible via hiking trails. It was originally established by the Wettingen Monastery for fish farming. It owes its name to an incident in 1799 when French troops harvested fish there.
