The Wurzbacher Stauweiher, is the last still intact rafting pond in the area of Warmensteinach. Here the so-called Schwemmflößerei was operated. This means that wood was thrown into rivers and then the nearby dams were opened for transport.

The Wurzbachweiher pond is always a nice place to include on a hike. There's a lovely route from Sophienthal, starting at the hiking car park. Unfortunately, forestry is also making inroads on this route, which is slowly turning the route into a forest highway. It's still very beautiful, though. There's a nice climb at the end up to the Wurzbachweiher pond.

Beautifully situated forest pond. You can also cool your feet on the bench.
Update May 1, 2021: A picnic table has now replaced the bench.
