The Mehlbacher pond is an ideal place to relax and unwind - be it the pleasurable laps of the pond or the quiet observation of one of the seating areas. Just let go and enjoy nature.

Just a great pond! The narrow path along the shore is the real highlight.

Wonderful, magical and coherent place. If I see it correctly, then you can go around the pond really well. Beautiful from all angles.

The Mehlbach pond, which has nothing to do with flour or mills, because it has too little water for a mill and has never powered one, is currently being renovated by Hessen Forst. The dam is being rebuilt.
For those interested:
The Mehlbach is actually called Molbach, which comes from the Middle High German expression mol and means newt, lizard.
Fifty years ago the first syllable was pronounced short, i.e. Melbach, or even Mölbach.
That is why the old cadastral maps of the Grand Duchy still say Molbach.
It's a bit of a shame that the original name has been parodied here out of ignorance.
See the Lagis-Hessen State Archives for more information! I've attached a map section to the pictures.
It used to be one of the ponds that had to supply the fish, when meat was still Sunday food.

The Mehlbach Pond is a beautifully situated forest lake that can be circumnavigated on foot. It's a legally protected biotope, bordered by mixed forest on one side and coniferous forest on the other. The Mehlbach Pond is a so-called still body of water, meaning it's an artificially created body of water with no flow velocity.
