    Hiking

    Its name has nothing to do with a bridge, but comes from "Bruch", which means a moor or swamp overgrown with bushes. The "Pruckleynsteich" was already mentioned in documents in 1419. Its actual age probably dates back to the Franconian period and is closely related to the Carolingian military road. Therefore, the Brücklasteich is likely the oldest artificially created pond in the region.

    Hiking

    The Brücklasteich is a natural monument in the urban area of Helmbrechts in the Hof district.

    The bridging load pond has been part of boundary descriptions from time immemorial. It was created on the old road, which like a dam in the swampy area led to the formation of the pond. It is part of the list of natural monuments in the district of Hof. Here is the source area of the Enziusbach. The water supply was a necessity for the Jaythof desert as a potential resting place.
