Tips
Hüle, Hülbe or Hüllweiher is a mostly artificially created small body of water on the water-poor plateaus of the Swabian Alb and the Franconian Jura. The still waters are located within built-up areas, in fields and in the forest. The cases were fed by rainwater and lay on natural waterlogged areas. The waters were of great importance as watering places for livestock or for producing industrial water. The Hülen lost their importance with the connection of the Alb settlements to the water supply and today represent unique cultural and historical evidence of the Swabian Alb and the Franconian Jura.
