Very beautiful pond at Sohlbach, which was already sung in a song :-)

The pond fed by the High Netphe once served as a water supply. But this became obsolete with the construction of the Obernautalsperre.
Today it is used as a fish pond.
It has already been considered to eliminate the pond, as the dam is considered in the long run as "not safe".

Hiking

Quiet area for walking around Netphen.
update April 2022:
Extensive renovation work is being carried out on the pond. The crest of the dam has now been redesigned.
