Regardless of the weather, it's always somehow special here. Nice and shady on hot summer days, when it rains you hardly get any water through the dense canopy of leaves

Nice area for a walk in the shade.

"... The Borbach has its source in the snow and soon flows into the Erlenteich. It then flows through the Hasenholzken and turns west towards the Buchenholz. Here it fed the three artificially created ponds in the Buchenholz recreation area until 2017.
The Borbach then flows north past the settlement of Kleine Borbach. Many of the houses were only built in the 19th century by immigrated miners who bought land here in the Annener Mark for the construction of Kotten. ..."

In 2017, the ponds were removed as part of the renaturation of the Borbach - after almost 60 years.

Beautiful forest area that was renaturalized in the 201x years.
