Best Hiking Routes to Nature Trail at Ungeheuersee

Tips

  • The Ungeheuersee is a shallow rain-moor pond that is mainly fed by the Krumbach.
    On the shore of the lake there is a sandstone boulder with his name carved into it.
    According to a legend, no one used to like going there because forest spirits were up to mischief here at midnight. Apparently there was also a forest woman living by the lake who is said to have stolen many a child.
    However, the name has nothing to do with that; rather, it comes from the words “Unger” for forest pasture and “Heyer” for enclosure.
    The path around the lake is about 700 m long and several information boards offer explanations.
    The managed Weisenheimer Hütte is located on its northwestern bank.
