Nice little pond for a short or longer rest. If you are lucky and have a little patience, you can spot fish (I mean carp).

Directly on the pond leads the EU mid-way path over. At this point you can get on many trails.

You can also start hikes from here, because there is a parking lot for hikers right next to the toad pond, which is located on the route of the "Vorderpessartblick" hiking route.

The car park is located at the intersection of the L3444 country road from Horbach to Waldrode and the K896 county road coming from Großenhausen. You have to drive downhill from the country road to the pond. There are also information boards there.

A beautiful place to take a break. We sat on the bench in the sun and enjoyed the peace and the fantastic view of the pond.

It is a good place to start a hike or bike tour, but also very suitable as a “stage destination”.

At the toad pond you can watch the cormorants “fishing”.

There is a car park at the Krötenweiher pond just a few metres from the country road. From here there are many opportunities for cycling or hiking.

Beautiful, idyllic lake at the edge of the forest... The lake invites you to take a quiet break, you can observe numerous water birds here

Hikers' car park and toad pond are on the route of the "Vorderespessartblick" hiking route. The short dirt road downhill to the parking lot or the pond is right at the T-junction of roads L3444 and K896.
