    Tips

    The name "Bühl", which is used today for the swimming lake, actually means hill. No wonder, because until 1843 there was still a 60 m high mountain here. Basalt was mined here until 1925. A blast in the pit caused a large influx of water.

    Of course, a legend also attempts an alternative explanation:
    Once upon a time there was a giant who loved to look at the basalt cone of the Bühl. When he woke up from a long sleep, he saw that the people had removed the entire mountain. He was so grieved that his tears filled the pit with water.

    The Bühl was also one of the filming locations for the film “Ostwind”. Here Mika trains her balance and rides on the east wind for the very first time.
