Tips
A Hüll or Himmelsweiher - i.e. a body of water with no inflow or outflow - is located here at the site of a former settlement called Eggenberg. It belonged temporarily to the Ensdorf monastery and housed the sheep farm. It later went into private ownership. Around 1860 the Bavarian state bought Hog and Grund, demolished the buildings and reforested them. Today only the shell can be seen. In our arid region, such water points were rare and valuable. They were partly of natural origin, partly they were created artificially. Human (and animal) settlement at this point, far from other water sources, would otherwise not have been possible.
