    A few steps from the seasonally managed Taubenlochhütte hedge tavern, the three spring pots are located in a small wood
    the iff, the so-called pigeon holes. In the past, these pretty little ponds supplied the nearby Schloss Frankenberg with drinking water.

    The three springs of the Iff, the so-called pigeon holes, are just a few steps away from the Taubenlochhütte, a hedge farm that is managed seasonally. These pretty little ponds used to supply the nearby Frankenberg Castle with drinking water.

    The Iff stream's short course was once lined with 22 mills. 18 of them still stand today – the Mill Trail runs alongside them. Some of them have been lovingly restored.
