    The Burbacher Waldweiher is a pond in Saarbrücken. It is fed by the Burbach coming to the northeast.
    The pond is located in the Saarbrücken district of Burbach. It is located north of the outskirts at the beginning of the Saarkohlenwald. The Von der Heydt settlement is two kilometers north.
    In the lower Burbach valley, debris from the destroyed buildings was dumped in the Second World War. A dam was raised above. The pond was created in the second half of the 1960s when the Burbach was jammed. As part of this measure, a local recreation area with a circular path and barbecue area was created, which was officially opened on September 4, 1968 by Mayor Haßdenteufel.

      A beautiful local recreation area that is worth a visit at any time of the year. An unpaved, wide and level road allows you to walk around the pond with a stroller and, for seniors, with a walker.
      Bringing binoculars with you makes wildlife viewing easier.
      In addition to the gray heron (also called heron), mallards and coots, many other water birds can be observed, such as the non-native Egyptian geese.
