Buchrainweiher

The Buchrainweiher is, just like the Maunzenweiher and Oberhorstweiher in the vicinity, an artificially created body of water. The ponds are particularly popular with anglers, but they are also a great destination for the residents of Oberrad.

Together with the Maunzenweiher, which belongs to Frankfurt-Oberrad, and the Oberhorstweiher, about 500 meters away to the east, the Buchrainweiher on Offenbacher district belongs to a group of artificial bodies of water that were created as ornamental and fish ponds as early as the 19th century. Maunzenweiher and Buchrainweiher were created by the damming of an unnamed small brook that rises in the Deisfeld in the Oberräder forest. In addition, seepage water flowing in below the water level feeds the Buchrain pond. The area designation "Lettigkaut" in the neighboring Frankfurt city forest proves that the ponds were created in former clay pits (Lettkauts). What was probably a secluded seat in Goethe's time, the "Sophienruhe" at the southern end of the pond, is now overgrown by forest. The pond overflow, called Buchraingraben, initially flows relatively naturally in a northerly direction, then in a straightened ditch through the allotment gardens in the Buchrain area to Georg-Oswald-May-Weg, where it is bordered; before the watercourse finally disappears in the canal, its water still feeds the pond in Dreieichpark.

is really nice, even if you can hear the traffic.
