The Weiherschacht is (currently) the only remnant of a chain of ponds in the Hirschwald. Today the land belongs to the Bavarian state, but the Ensdorf monastery farmed the pond here until secularisation, as the fish in it were an important food for the Benedictine monks in the monastery.

The only body of water far and wide in the deer forest. Ideal for a resting bench.
