Abtskücher Stauteich

A round at the water is relaxing. However, the surrounding area also has a lot to offer.

Heiligenhauser outskirts recreation area. On Sundays, model ships swim here. Do not feed ducks!

The Abtskücher Stauteichs, which is filled by cattle brook, was extended at a job creation measure in the late 1920s. At the pond was once a grain mill, but in 1932 disappeared. You can walk or jog around the pond. The path does not even measure a kilometer.
