The Grafenmühlweiher was built to operate a grinding mill. It is named after the then owners Michael and Daniel Graff. The mill pond was already called in 1660. From 1914 to 1917, the pond was an open-air swimming pool in which, for reasons of morality, the bathing days for men and women were separate.

The water was left out at the time to make it clean. Will definitely be a great place to relax again

Original water reservoir for the Grafenmühle (Graf is the name of the owner at the time). The locals usually refer to the pond as the swan pond.
The area is to be redesigned as part of the Bavarian-Czech Friendship Week (which will take place in 2023).
