Hiking

At the place of a much smaller forerunner, the Hofmannsweiher was created in its current size (16 ha) through construction work around the year 1668. Since the Dreifelder Weiher, which was once much higher dammed, repeatedly caused floods in the village of Dreifelden, a connecting canal was set up between Dreifelder Weiher and Dreifelden in 1744 Hofmannsweiher.

Through this “flood ditch”, water could flow out of the Dreifelder Weiher when snowmelt or heavy rainfall without having to operate the difficult-to-use drainage devices. The canal was filled in when the Dreifelder Weiher was lowered to its current limits around 1840.

Hiking

The Hofmanns Weiher is a bit out of the way, cannot be reached directly by car and is therefore not as heavily frequented as the neighboring Dreifelder Weiher. The pond can be reached either from the parking lot of the "Haus am See" at the Dreifelder Weiher or as part of the 7-Weiher-Weg (a total of 30 kilometers, sometimes very poorly signposted).
