    Backwater of victory, a strange name "Oberste Fahr"

      Very nice area to relax.

        The Victory Arms radiate a calm atmosphere and, depending on the time of day, mystical moments. If you are lucky, you can see turtles sunbathing here.

          "The Oberstes Fahr, also an oxbow lake of the Sieg, is approximately 4.1 hectares in size and approximately 1 km long, with a width of approximately 70 meters at its widest point.

          The body of water is owned by the Brotherhood and may only be used for fishing by fishing brothers.

          Old records suggest that the Sieg flowed here for a long time and that there was a ferry crossing, hence the name of the body of water."
