There was a lot of pit water in the hawks' pits. A spring that has not dried up to this day. Clear, ferruginous water flows from the still existing but closed entrance of the Herkules colliery in the area of Krähhahnstrasse in every season. Wilhelm IX. Used this fact and let the water run into a forest lake via the Aschgraben, which was initially built as a closed, then open connection. The so-called Asch, dialect for pot, was artificially created from 1785 as a reservoir along the main axis of the park.

A remote but very beautiful lake. It's worth it and away from the hustle and bustle.
