Today it is a small reservoir with biotope. Previously, it was used for rafting (short version: weir on, tree trunks washed away ^ ^).
Quietly located, the Fuchsteich invites you to take a break.

A great quiet little reservoir. Especially attractive on a misty autumn morning or in spring, when you can see frogs and toads. Pack binoculars! The island offers a lot to discover ....

In the spring you can observe the toad migration close up. Nice rest area.

Yes of course . Especially in the Corona period, you can enjoy absolute tranquility here. 99% of the time we didn't meet people. Only the corona control trip.

The "Fuchs or Schleusenteich" was created in the 16th century for the purpose of rafting timber. The weir was pulled up for rafting - the flood wave now roaring downstream washed the timber via Fuchsbach, Cunnersdorfer Bach and Biela into the Elbe. After rafting ceased in the middle of the 19th century, the pond served as flood protection and today, after renovation in 1992 under the direction of the "Upper Biela Valley Association", it is a small piece of landscape of ecological and aesthetic value.

Beautiful little, romantic pond in the middle of the forest with a nice rest hut :-) Recommended for a short break in between.
